Find all users with either the last name Hinkley or Pettit SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_name = "Hinkley" OR "Pettit"

Can anyone tell me if my syntax is off? Or am I missing something?

This:

WHERE last_name = "Hinkley" OR "Pettit"

Needs to be this:

WHERE last_name = "Hinkley" OR last_name = "Pettit"

Or alternatively:

WHERE last_name IN ("Hinkley", "Pettit")
