Hi Ricard! It looks like there are a few problems with the code you posted above. First, you haven't loaded the "org.sqlite.JDBC" class under the comment you've included. Second, the first Connection variable you've declared in the try-with-resources block has a misspelled data type. Next, you've omitted the first "r" in DriverManager. And finally, the connection URL should begin with "jdbc:sqlite".

Since this is a code challenge, I won't give you the exact answer here. :) But, with this info and a review of the related video, you should be well on your way to the answer, if you haven't gotten it already. Cheers!
