1,962 PointsCounting orders from yesterday from an ecommerce database
I'm not sure where I'm messing up this query, is the DATE wrong? Should it be BETWEEN DATE?

231,184 PointsYou're close! You calculated the correct date but forgot to compare it to the data column:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS ordered_yesterday_and_shipped
FROM orders
WHERE ordered_on = DATE("now", "-1 day") AND status = "shipped";
-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Also note that both comparisons are placed after the "WHERE" keyword.

SELECT COUNT(*) AS ordered_yesterday_and_shipped FROM orders DATE("now", "-1 day") AND WHERE status = "shipped";

231,184 PointsPlease show the query string you were using so we can identify the issue, but you shouldn't need "BETWEEN".
