Reporting with SQL: task 1/2

How do I concatenate a string to the end of my column value?

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

Should return "Bob Joe < email@email.com >"

It's much like what you did for the opening bracket.

Just use the concatenation operator ("||") and then your string.

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

I think treehouse was trolling because I did that exact thing and I was getting a syntax error. Thank you though!
