Access to the database is built in to the inherited method select(). This is inherited from peewee.Model. The database is specified in theMetasubclass of the modelChallenge`.

For example, as seen in the Modeling video, The Student class

    class Student(Model):
        username = CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
        points = IntegerField(dafault=0)

        class Meta:
            database = db

So Task 2 can be solved using:

# Challenge Task 1 of 4
# Import the `Challenge` class from `models.py`.

from models import Challenge

# Challenge Task 2 of 4
# Now, create a variable named `all_challenges`. It should select all of the available challenges from the database.

all_challenges = Challenge.select()
