Concatenate code challenge problem.

I'm not quite sure why this wouldn't output the <> brackets around the email address. What am i doing wrong here?

I'm not sure if my code was copied with this post..

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">" || AS "to_inbox" FROM patrons;

Would this not be

to_inbox Patrick Sullivan patricksullivan@gmail.com

:point_right: One obvious problem is that you have an extra concatenation operator (||) before the AS.

Also, you didn't provide a link to the challenge, but if this is for the one I'm thinking of, the concatenated field should be aliased to "to_field", not "to_inbox" (but it could be there's a similar challenge in a different course).
