I think there is an error on a database challenge

When I have done the last two challenges from database foundations, I have passed them without writing semicolon at the end. Like this:

CREATE TABLE actors (name VARCHAR(50))

and

INSERT INTO actors VALUE("Name of the film")

Is it correctly and it will work? Or I should put ; at the end of te code?

Thanks!

Best to always have that semicolon, in my own opinion!

Okey, thanks. I think that the challenge does not correct properly.

I agree, it is definitely best to always use a semicolon at the end of each statement - however if you are just sending one statement you can leave it out without it causing an error.

Yes! I have read about it and I prefer to add the semicolon always, even thought it is unnecessary. Thanks!
