You'll build up a string using concatenation, using the || operator. Your string will be a mix of database columns and literal strings in quotes.

I don't recall the exact field names, but it will partially look something like this:

SELECT firstname || ' ' || lastname || ' <' || email || '>' AS concatenated_name_and_email FROM...

Of course, you'll substitute the correct column and alias names, and add the other parts of the query.
