Why am I receiving "no such column: street" ?

Columns clearly defined in task. One of the columns is street. It returns SQL Errors: no such column: street. Is this again a table name error as I read that occurred a year ago or user error? Please help. Thank you

Query is as follows:

SELECT street|| ","|| city || ","|| state || "," || zip || "."|| country AS addresses;

You are missing a FROM statement. Also account for the spaces in the desired format. Your string characters you are directly injecting should have a space. EX. street || ", "|| city

SELECT street || "," || city || "," || state || "," || zip || "."|| country AS address; SQL Error: no such column: street

In an ecommerce database there's a addresses table. There is an id, nickname, street, city, state, zip, country and user_id columns.

Concatenate the street, city, state, zip and country in the following format. Street, City, State Zip. Country e.g. 34 NE 12 st, Portland, OR 97129. USA

Alias the concatenated string as address
