Can't see where the code is wrong

Hi everyone!

I can't see where the code below is wrong. Need some help.

SELECT id, name, description, price FROM products WHERE price IN (7.99, 9.99, 11.99);

Thanks!

Ramon, can you post a task question, please? It looks like your code is correct.

Hi Sergey,

The task question is:

"We have an e-commerce database. Inside the products table we have the columns of id, name, description and price. Without using the OR keyword, find all products with the price of 7.99, 9.99 or 11.99."

Hi Ramon,

So you are trying Task 1 of 2, searching-within-a-set-of-values

"We have an e-commerce database. Inside the products table we have the columns of id, name, description and price. Without using the OR keyword, find all products with the price of 7.99, 9.99 or 11.99."

Your answer was bringing back the correct results, but you hadn't written it the way they wanted you to. It asks you to 'find all products' so it is expecting you to use * instead of listing out the 4 columns. So try:

SELECT * FROM products WHERE price IN (7.99, 9.99, 11.99);
