Why is this in the incorrect format?

SELECT first_name ||" "||last_name||" "|| email AS "To" FROM patrons

In code challenge.

Hey Brian,

you almost got it right but there are two problems in your SQL statement. Firstly the challenge wants you to alias the resulting text as to_field instead of To . The other problem is that you didn't wrap the email address inside of angle brackets.

If you fix those issues it should look like this:

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

I hope that helps! :)

SELECT street || ", " || city || ", " || zip || ". " || country AS address FROM addresses Don't get why this didn't pass the second part of the challenge.

You almost got it right! You just forgot to also concatenate the state and a space before the zip code like so:

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

I hope that helps! :)
