I need to display the second page, items 11-20, but for some reason it keeps telling me I am getting it wrong. The directions are as follows:
"In a library database there's a books table. There's a title, author, genre and first_published column.
The library database is connected to a website displaying 10 books at a time, sorted by the title alphabetically.
Write a query to bring back the second page of results."
Source code (Only had to type SQL code):
SELECT title, author, genre, first_published
FROM books
ORDER BY title
LIMIT 10, 10
Alternatively:
SELECT title, author, genre, first_published
FROM books
ORDER BY title
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10
I have tried this and many other combinations, and gotten nowhere.

4,002 PointsThank you. I suppose the directions were not clear enough- they should have said that there was an id column. If any staff are looking at this, please update the instructions.
