Step 3: Check Your Query Syntax

Make sure to double-check your SQL syntax and aliases. Sometimes, minor issues can lead to your query returning empty results.

Using Backticks: For table and database identifiers, use backticks (`) to avoid potential conflicts with reserved words or special characters in MySQL.
