Can not figure out the answer to this question. Only show values between A-L.

There are two tables Fruit and Vegetable table. The Fruit table has a FruitID and a Name column and the Vegetable table has a VegetableID and Name column. Create a list of all fruits and vegetables starting with the letters A through K . In other words all fruit and vegetables that don't start with the letter L to Z.

My answer was ... SELECT * FROM fruit WHERE name <= "L" UNION SELECT * FROM vegetable WHERE name <= "L" ORDER BY name

I have tried using just <"L" . I've tried using different letters. I work with programers and I asked them for help and they couldn't figure out the answer either. Am I suppose to use EXCEPT? I'm not sure. Can someone help please?

SELECT * FROM fruit WHERE name <= "K" UNION SELECT * FROM vegetable WHERE name <= "K" ORDER BY name

DOES NOT WORK ^ ^ ^

NEVERMIND ----- GOT IT. Heres the answer.

SELECT name FROM fruit WHERE name < "L" UNION SELECT name FROM vegetable WHERE name < "L" ORDER BY name

They only wanted the name column. Not SELECT * .
