Hi Oskar,

Could you link to the question or code challenge? I don't know for example if there are 2 fields for name or if they use one or what the name of your table is.

Andrew will have used the syntax you need somewhere in the preceding video.

you'll need to use the WHERE clause somewhere in your answer.

Here's an example for you to try in the mean time.

DELETE FROM contacts WHERE first_name IS "Jonathan%" AND last_name IS "%Luna";

:warning: I don't think you can use IS the way Jonathan is suggesting.

But his code might work if you substitute the word "LIKE" for "IS".

That's true. It also says with the first... not like or containing the first. 

delete * from contacts where first_name="Jonathan" and last_name="Luna";
