Hi again - I tried to look at the mubi\_mubi db in jupityr in the assignment and got this error message:

File Load Error for mubi\_movies\_ratings.db

/home/jovyan/work/mubi\_movies\_ratings.db is not UTF-8 encoded

Would this create the grading problem? Maybe?

Hi. If you mean you just double-clicked on it, then no you cannot do that on `.db` files. They are not simple text files. You have to query it with the SQL commands you learned in the lectures. Hope this helps.
