Question

Data Cleaning - Write a query on the FavoriteMusic table in the FaceX dataset to change "Nickleback" to "Nickelback" in the favorite music selections. Your query should output all the columns in the original table and an additional column called FavoriteMusic_Fixed with this correction.

This is my answer but I got it wrong

SELECT FavoriteMusic, REPLACE(FavoriteMusic, 'Nickleback', 'Nickelback') as FavoriteMusic_Fixed FROM FavoriteMusic;

Answer 1

The provided SQL statement is nearly correct to fix the typo 'Nickleback' in the FaceX dataset. Verify that the table name is correct and ensure that you select all the columns in the table, which can be done using the asterisk (*) in your query.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correct the typo in the FavoriteMusic table of the FaceX dataset from Nickleback to Nickelback, your SQL query is almost correct. However, if you received an error or did not get the desired result, it might be due to a mistake not visible in the query you provided. One common mistake could be that the table's actual name is different from the column you are trying to select. Ensure that the table name is indeed FavoriteMusic, and not something else, which might be causing the query to fail.

Here is the corrected query assuming that the table name is correctly specified:

SELECT *, REPLACE(FavoriteMusic, 'Nickleback', 'Nickelback') as FavoriteMusic_Fixed FROM FavoriteMusic;

This query will select all the columns from the FavoriteMusic table and an additional column named FavoriteMusic_Fixed that includes the corrected spelling of Nickelback.
