Inserting Data into a table - mysql

Question

Hi all i have a pretty basic question but i cant pickup where im wrong in my Syntax. Im supposed to create a concat message that shows what items are discounted against a certain constraint. The first step is adding data that meets the requirement. In this case it is an ORDER that is created after the 30th of April 2019, as shown below
INSERT INTO ORDERS
(ORDER_ID, CUSTOMER_CODE, EMPLOYEE_ID, ORDER_DATE, REQUIRED_DATE, SHIPPED_DATE, SHIP_VIA, FREIGHT, SHIP_NAME, SHIP_ADDRESS, SHIP_CITY, SHIP_REGION, SHIP_POSTAL_CODE, SHIP_COUNTRY)
VALUES
(4000,'SAVEA', 4, STR_TO_DATE('01/05/2019', '%m/%d/%Y'), STR_TO_DATE('01/05/2019', '%m/%d/%Y'),
STR_TO_DATE('02/28/2019', '%m/%d/%Y'), 'Ausralia Post', 15.63, 'Titanic', '185 League Street.',
'Sydney', 'AB', '56728', 'Australia');
INSERT INTO ORDER_DETAIL
( ORDER_ID, PRODUCT_NAME ,UNIT_PRICE, QUANTITY, DISCOUNT )
VALUES
(4000, 'Konbu',6,10,0);
INSERT INTO ORDER_DETAIL
( ORDER_ID, PRODUCT_NAME ,UNIT_PRICE, QUANTITY, DISCOUNT )
VALUES
(4000, 'Alice Mutton',39,10,0);
The next step is too create a table to store the message
CREATE TABLE MESSAGES (
SIZE VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL
);
the next step, which is where i believe my syntax error lies, is to create the concat message itself
INSERT INTO MESSAGE
SELECT CONCAT('Order', ORDERS.ORDER_ID, 'submitted on',ORDERS.ORDER_DATE,'includes a discontinued product', ORDER_DETAIL.PRODUCT_NAME)
FROM PRODUCT
JOIN ORDER_DETAIL ON PRODUCT.PRODUCT_NAME = ORDER_DETAIL.PRODUCT_NAME JOIN ORDERS ON ORDERS.ORDER_ID = ORDER_DETAIL.ORDER_ID
WHERE PRODUCT.DISCONTINUED = 'N' AND ORDERS.ORDER_DATE > STR_TO_DATE('04/30/2019','%m/%d/%Y');
im following a passed assingment example to the Tee and i dont understand why it brings No results. Below ill post the tables used

Answer 1

To debug this, first do just the select part, don’t do the insert part.
I bet the problem is around how you specify the date. Try dropping that out of the query and see what you get.

Answer 2

SOLVED: I was putting the date in wrong, i was doing day month then year not month day and year
