Give it your best shot, and if you still don't get it right, show your code here so we can help you work it out.

You might want to take a look at these videos about Posting a Question, and using Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance.

To avoid confusion and give yourself the best chance at a rapid response, always start a fresh question instead of adding one as an "answer" to someone else's!

But in this case you're close, but have a few syntax issues:

  • "Science Fiction" should be used in the WHERE clause, and compared to genre
  • first_published should be used in the ORDER BY clause

I can't get past the second challenge task in the Limiting Results challenge.

Here's my code

SELECT * FROM books WHERE first_published ORDER BY "Science Fiction" ASC LIMIT 1;
