7,358 PointsWhat exactly am I counting?
I keep getting an error that my count calculation is incorrect. Here's my statement:
SELECT COUNT(status) FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE("now");
What am I doing wrong? I felt like I understood this conceptually but now I'm not sure what is being counted without a schema or table to reference. The error message I got from this was:
You're count calculation was wrong. Was expecting the count of 13.
UPDATE: I eventually got this challenge correct just now. It was correct after I aliased the count function to shipped_today. However the error I got before mentioned that the calculation was wrong. Maybe error handling is a bit off for this challenge?
