Angle brackets

In the library database there's a patrons table listing all the users of the library. The columns are id, first_name, last_name, address, email, library_id and zip_code. Generate a list of strings that are in the following format: Andrew Chalkley andrew@teamtreehouse.com. Concatenate the first name, last name and email address for all users. Alias it to to_field. This will be used in the "To" field in email marketing.

How to put angle brackets around the email ?

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email AS to_field FROM patrons;

:point_right: Just include the brackets inside the concatenated literal strings:

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">" AS to_field FROM patrons;

In future, remember to include a link to the challenge or video when you post a question about it.
