The Brief

Dr. Amara OkaforChief Quality Officerslack-dm

Can you show me all departments — the name, type, and bed count for each? I need to understand our facility layout before the quality review kickoff this afternoon.

Hints (3)

Each hint you reveal reduces the XP you can earn. Try the query first.

Hint 1

Single-table projection from the department dimension — no joins, no aggregation.

Hint 2

Three explicit columns in the SELECT list (the three Dr. Okafor named). No `*`, no filter.

Hint 3

Every department row should appear; the table is small enough that no LIMIT is needed.
