    【Question】
    How many orders were shipped in 1998? orders refer to l_orderkey; shipped in 1998 refers to year(l_shipdate) = 1998;

    【Evidence】
    orders refer to l_orderkey; shipped in 1998 refers to year(l_shipdate) = 1998;

    Please read and understand the database schema carefully, and generate an executable SQL based on the user's question and evidence. 

SQL: SELECT COUNT(l_orderkey) FROM lineitem WHERE STRFTIME('%Y', l_shipdate) = '1998'
