On the review/practice for SELECT and Aliasing, it asks to alias the title and year_released. Tells me no title column.

On the reinforcement portion for SELECT and ALIASING. The question to alias title and year_released, when run, tells me there is no column name title. I even tried to copy/paste in the event that I had something I wasn't seeing, but with the same results. Perhaps an additional space or something?

SELECT title AS Title, year_released AS "Year Released" FROM movies;

Or something pretty close. Was just curious. Keep up the good work!!!

I cut-and-pasted your query directly from above into the playground and it ran fine.

Did you possibly type it differently when it failed?

I would like to think I did, I checked for additional spaces etc. Perhaps it was just my brain telling me to take a break.

Thank you for confirming I could at least know the query to use.

Is it illegal to use a leading _xxxx, _yyyy, _xyyy2v1 for every variable. Your eyes could get confused unless every "as" access from table "HERE" is uniform. You know so the database doesn't confuse the printer. I could just stare at video card version revisions.
