I am uncertain as to why I am receiving an error message suggesting that I have only entered three of the four values.

This may just be confusion on my end, but I was able to get this code to work earlier and now what I believe to be the same correctly formatted code is turning up an error message suggesting that I have only entered values for 3 of the 4 values for the particular skill check.

Can you post your code?

here is the original prompt: "We have an eCommerce database and it has a products table. It has the columns id, name, description and price. Add a new product to the products table. Use any valid values you want. All columns are required. The id column is auto incrementing."

This is the structure of the statements I've been attempting: INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price) VALUE (NULL, "T-shirt", "blue", 12.99);

And here is my error message: "Bummer: Was expecting 4 entries in the products table. There's only 3."

Thanks in advance for the help!

It should be VALUES plural like this:

INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price) VALUES (NULL, "T-shirt", "blue", 12.99);

Thank you! I had been stuck on this for an embarrassing about of time.
