Where am I wrong here:

The directions are:

From the actors table select the name column using the long form version of the column name i.e. table name followed by the column name.

I have: SELECT table_name.column_name FROM actors;

Hi there,

It is worded in a weird way but in other words, you have to name using the long column notation (actors.name) so the answer should be:

select actors.name from actors;
