The instructions ask you to total the ratings for the movie Starman. You would use a WHERE clause to make sure your total only includes the ratings for that particular movie.
And you won't need grouping for this challenge.

9,736 PointsHi Krishna. Here is the code I'm attempting.
SELECT SUM(rating) AS starman_total_ratings, movie_id FROM reviews GROUP BY movie_id HAVING starman_total_ratings > 0;

9,736 PointsIt doesn't make sense because in the video, he said that you shouldn't use a WHERE clause when grouping since SQL doesn't know what to do with it. So it's better to use the HAVING type of where clause. But it's still saying that I need a WHERE clause. This is very confusing.
