We're back in the sports team database. There's a results table with the columns id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score and played_on . Find all the matches in the results table where "Hessle" was playing away as the away team and if they played on or after October 1st 2015. Date format is "YYYY-MM-DD".

SELECT id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score, played_on FROM results WHERE away_team = "Hessle" OR played_on > "2015-10-01";

SELECT id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score, played_on FROM results WHERE away_team = "Hessle" OR played_on > "2015-10-01";

For this answer, it says select all columns, am I missing a column?

Hey Rojina Pradhan 👋

You'll want to have a good look at what the challenge is asking. To select all the columns you can use the * instead of typing out all the column names.

After that change you'll want to make sure that both conditionals are true:

  • "Hessle" was playing away as the away team

and

  • on or after October 1st 2015

Finally make sure that the second conditional is also including the matches that were played on October 1st 2015, currently you're only including the ones after that date 🙂

All these changes combined should end up with a query that looks like this:

SELECT * FROM results WHERE away_team = "Hessle" AND played_on >= "2015-10-01";

Hope this helps! 😃
