Concatenation code challange

I wrote this code to produce Andrew Chalkley andrew@teamtreehouse.com.

SELECT first_name ||' '|| last_name || ' <'|| LOWER(first_name)|| '@teamtreehouse.com>.' AS "to_field" FROM patrons;

And the code is being flagged as being incorrect. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

You need to use the email column from the database. I used the below and it worked.

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