Databases Reporting with SQL Aggregate and Numeric Functions Averaging Values

AVG

We're in a movie database. There's a reviews table with the columns of id, movie_id, username, review and rating.

The movie "Starman" has an id of 6. Movie ids are stored in the movie_id column. Calculate the average rating for "Starman". Alias the average as average_rating.

Select movie_id,AVG(rating) from reviews GROUP BY movie_id HAVING movie_id=6;

Why its showing me that my query produces different results , plz help and explain that what will be the output with my query??

Kawaljeet Singh — Normally, you'd choose "best answer" on the one that contained the information that helped most to solve the issue! :see_no_evil:

(You can still change the selection)

I see a few issues:

  • the instructions ask only for the rating (no movie_id)
  • you won't need GROUP BY or HAVING
  • but you will need a WHERE clause
  • you still need to alias the average as "average_rating"

Its still not working,can u post the right query Thank you

Try implementing all the hints and see if you get it for yourself. If you still have trouble, post the revised query.
