I am stuck on the first challenge here this SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5

I am trying to find out why this code is not working the only thing it is mentioning that I have not added into it is that they are asking for the Fantasy genre and I can't recall how to implement it in the code can you please help me SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5

We're using the library database again. There's a books table. There's a title, author, genre and first_published column.

Write a query to obtain the first 5 books in the Fantasy genre ordered by the year released. Oldest first. Select all columns.

It is difficult to answer without a link to the challenge, but if they're asking for you to select something from the Fantasy genre, I believe they mean where genre='Fantasy'.

SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre='Fantasy' ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5
