It looks like you need to provide some strings as well as the fields to display the correct email format.

So we need to work out the correct way to do that. You do that by adding the strings and concatenating them in the same way `|| like this

select first_name || " " ||  last_name || " <" || email || ">" as "to_field" from patrons
