Hi Saad! I'm moving this to the Database boards as it has to do specifically with databases. Also, it would be great if you could link the challenge to which you're referring :sparkles:

:point_right: You probably need to replace "and" with a comma.

You also don't want an equal sign between SET and the first colulmn name:

UPDATE phone_book SET first_name = "Mystery", last_name = "Person";

Thanks Jennifer and Steven. The equal sign was a typo but the comma instead of AND totally worked. Thanks
