12,680 Pointshelp - stuck with this simple question
Q.In one statement, in the movies table rename the year to release_year and change the type to the type of YEAR.
My attempt...
A. ALTER TABLE movies CHANGE COLUMN year release_year, type type of the YEAR;
I know the 'type of the year' part is wrong but I dont really understand the question especially the last part (even though I am English!)
Please help if you know it. I have tried various ways and need fresh pair of eyes to look at it. Thanks
