CANNOT COMPLETE THE TASK ON CONCATENATION

in reporting for sql under the first objective I a have to concatenate first_name last_name and email and alias it to "to_field"

My Query is:-

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

The result shows I am missing out on the "<" and ">" braces.

But when I am typing a query like:-

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

The result pops up as there is an error with the "<" operator.

Please help me with the correct query.

:point_right: It looks like you have a stray period (.) after the right angle (>).

Otherwise, your second query looks good. I bet it will pass when you remove that period.

I would have given it a try myself if you had included a link to the challenge.
