Since you didn't spell out what the error was, we are left guessing. So my guess is you were having a problem with the INSERT in the Adding Data with SQL challenge. As Jon indicated, you can use NULL to trigger auto-increment: INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price) VALUES (NULL, "X", "DDD", 23.4) You can also do it this way: INSERT INTO products (name, description, price) VALUES ("X", "DDD", 23.4) where you don't name the field and don't provide a value (knowing the DBMS will provide it for you). I hope this helps. If the problem was a different one please let us know.
