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.

But as a generic hint, people have previously had trouble with this task if they overlook the fact that there is a space between "J.K." and "Rowlling" (or if they omit either of the periods).

231,236 PointsAs I hinted already, it looks like you omitted that space between "J.K." and "Rowlling"!
