• This is not a duplicate of an existing issue (please have a look through our open issues list to make sure)
• I have thoroughly read and understand The Odin Project Contributing Guide
• Would you like to work on this issue?

Describe your suggestion

1. In "Querying basics“ bullet point 3 needs to be updated

   Currently:
   Section 7 is about Grouping
   Section 8 is about Overriding Conditions
   Section 21 is about Calculations

   So rather than Section 8, I guess it is another section we should read in this context.

2. In "Querying basics“ bullet point 4 needs to be updated

   According to this bullet point, we should read 3 sections about "overriding conditions".

   Currently:
   Section 9 is about Null Relation
   Section 10 is about Readonly Objects
   Section 11 is about Locking Records for Update
   Section 12 is about Joining Tables

3. In "Advanced querying“ bullet point 2 may need to be updated

   Section 19 is about Finding by SQL

   Is this section indeed the one that we are meant to read to learn about „using SQL directly to query"?

---

As it seems that the order and numbering of the sections at https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html has changed, I am a bit worried that we might miss any important new information in this lesson.

In case I can help resolving this issue I'd be happy to contribute but I am not sure how those sections numbers should be updated.

Thank you for making this issue @bellitabellota and sorry for the delay on our end for looking at it.

Here is how the items should be updated:

• Querying Basics 3: Read sections 7 and 21 to learn about grouping and aggregate functions.
• Querying Basics 4: Skim section 8 to learn about overriding conditions.

Your last point is the correct section for learners to read for finding by SQL. If you would like to suggest a rewording to make this more clear, I would be glad to take a look.

Since you indicated you'd like to work on this, I'll assign you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Perfect, I will create a pull request for these changes.
Thank @JoshDevHub you for taking the time and helping with updating the assignment instructions.
