Am I getting this right?

"begin", "commit".... Can I simplify this to "edit," and "save"? and "auto commit" as "auto save"?

Like most computer languages, SQL has specific keywords that it recognizes. You cannot substitute other words, even if they have similar (or identical) meanings in English.

Hey Oliverchou, keep in mind that, the challenges are being tested for specific answers and if in the right direction can provide some really useful hints or error messages to keep you on track!

Also be sure to use the SQL playground in each lesson module - its a great way to see live responses and practice the content :sunglasses:

Thank you guys I was just making sure if my comprehension was correct, which is merely a note to myself to help me get the concept.

I understand I still have to use the right and acceptable keyword though.

Thanks, anyway :)

oliverchou I understood what you were saying immediately, but keep in mind, computers and often times programmers take everything you say literally
