Ok here we go! The challenge wants the first name, last name, email to all be in the to_field. So your alias to "To" is incorrect. Furthermore, you Select, but you never say from which table. It has no idea where it's supposed to start looking. Third, it wants you to concatenate angle brackets around the email address. Take a look at my SQL statement:

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

Looks like I'm way off, I think I better take beginner courses in SQL before I tackle more advanced stuff like this.
