Filtering by dates

Challenge Task 1 of 1

We're back in the sports team database. There's a results table with the columns id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score and played_on . Find all the matches in the results table where "Hessle" was playing away as the away team and if they played on or after October 1st 2015. Date format is "YYYY-MM-DD".

l keep getting Bummer! Did you select from 'results' table? l can't get it, please help

Since they're not specifying which fields they want returned, you'll probably want to pull back all columns using *. They're asking you to pull back all records where the away_team is set to 'Hessle' and the date of the game is on or after '2015-10-15', so you'll want to use the greater-than-or-equal-to operator for that (>=). Are all of your selected parameters in quotes (i.e played_on = '2015-10-15')? It's tough to give you specific pointers without seeing your code, but hopefully that helps!

select * from results where away_team = "Hessle" and away_score > 18 ;
