5,521 PointsTask Problem: Create a table called "products"
Create a table called "products" with a VARCHAR column named "name", a TEXT column named "description" and a INTEGER "stock_count" column. The name should be up to 100 characters long. Is the task, and this is my solution,
CREATE TABLE products (name VARCHAR(100) , description TEXT, stock_count INTEGER NULL );
I then get the error message: SQL Error: table products already exists
