Concatenation

Question: 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.

I have not be able to successful write this script. Please advise.

Please at least give it a good-faith attempt, then show your code and ask for assistance if it's still not working.

Also please provide a link to the challenge page.

In the meantime, as a general hint, remember that "||" is the concatenation operator, and you are allowed to use it to combine columns and literal strings.

if you are too stumped on the question I would suggest you rewatch the video, and give it a go.
