Databases

What's going wrong with my query?

Now we're using a database from a smartphone. It has a phone_book table. It has the columns id, first_name, last_name and phone. Delete all contacts with the first name of Jonathan and last name of Luna.

DELETE FROM phone_book WHERE first_name = "Jonathon" AND last_name = "Luna";

also tried this with OR and it didn't work

You typed 'Jonathon' instead of 'Jonathan' in your query.

Thanks Paul

Did it work?

Try: DELETE FROM phone_book WHERE first_name IS "Jonathan" AND last_name IS "Luna";

Because it didn't work for me.

DELETE FROM phone_book WHERE first_name = "Jonathan" OR first_name = "Luna";

remove the OR and put AND and you code will pass happy coding :D
