When you use "Name <= 'K'" as a filter, you're accepting names that come before "K" in the alphabet, and the letter "K" itself. If you want the results to include all words that begin with "K", use "Name < 'L'" as the filter instead.

Also, you're not likely to encounter words that come before "A" in the alphabet, so you probably don't need the other filter at all.

select * from Fruit where Name < 'L' union select * from vegetable where Name < 'L';

Still not working .. I want to query all the names from 'A' through 'K' Can you show me the exact code?

In that case, select name instead of *.

If that doesn't solve it (and for future questions) please provide a link to the course page.

I worked Thanks!
