6,185 PointsCount Function
In the library database, how many books are with the author of "J.K. Rowling"? Alias the result as jk_book_count. The books table has the columns id, title, author, genre and first_published.
My Answer select count(*) as jk_book_count from books where author = "J.K.Rowling";
Bummer: Your query didn't perform the correct count.
Could you please tell me what is wrong with my answer?

But the issue with your query is that you have "J.K.Rowling
" (with no space) instead of "J.K. Rowling
".
