In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost.Count the total number of orders that were ordered yesterday and have the status of 'shipped'. Alias it to ordered_yesterday_and_shipped.

SELECT COUNT(*) AS ordered_yesterday_and_shipped FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE("now","-1 day");

31,093 PointsWalter Guererro is right. However, when I did my code, it was like this:
SELECT COUNT(status) AS ordered_yesterday_and_shipped FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE("now", "-1 day");
And it told me it was expecting a count of 14. If you do that code on the SQL playground that goes along with the previous video, the count is 14. Also, I could be wrong about this but do these AS statements not require the use of quotation marks unless they need a string? Doesn't seem right that they want you to put ordered_yesterday_and_shipped with quotes in it.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,924 PointsI tried all the code above, and finally adding quotes around the alias worked for me:
SELECT COUNT(status) AS "ordered_yesterday_and_shipped" FROM orders WHERE status="shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE("now", "-1 day");
