WHAT is wrong pls help

In the customers table there's an email column. Write a query that will retrieve all email addresses but will replace the @ symbol with <at> so they all look like andrew<at>teamtreehouse.com. Alias it as obfuscated_email . Type in your command below. Get Help Check Work

SELECT * FROM customers REPLACE (email, "@", "<at>") AS obfuscated_email;

Hi Lax,

I would try removing the asterisk ( * ) and replacing it with your 'REPLACE (email, "@", "<at>") AS obfuscated_email' statement so it reads: 

SELECT REPLACE(email, "@", "<at>") AS obfuscated_email FROM customers

Hope this helps!

Yes, they did ask for all email, but not all columns of the table. So as in Jenna's example, you just use the email column in the arguments to REPLACE.
