Data Analysis Techdegree Student 4,203 PointsHow do you alias the strings you concatenate to "to_field"? And properly concatenate these strings?
I'm trying to solve the first Challenge Task for Working with Text in Reporting with SQL. Here's my following code: SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email AS "to_field" FROM patrons; . But that doesn't seem to be the right code for this challenge. What am I doing wrong?

You're SUPER close!!
I had a hard time figuring this one out as well too, turns out it had to do with the < > angle brackets not surrounding the email property. So you'll want a space before the first one and no space after the closing angle bracket.
SELECT first_name || ' ' || last_name || ' <' || email || '>' AS to_field FROM patrons;
