Help me

Challenge Task 1 of 2 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.

Type in your command below.

I wouldn't normally post a spoiler, but since an incorrect one has already been given I will make an exception. Without a specific reference to the challenge page this is still a bit of a guess, but it fits the instructions shown above:

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

Notice how the concatenation operator ("||") is used to join the fields together, along with the extra spaces and symbols needed to reproduce the format of the example.
