In the library database there's a patrons table listing all the users of the library. The columns are id, first_name, last_name, address, email, library_id and zip_code.
Generate a list of strings that are in the following format: Andrew Chalkley andrew@teamtreehouse.com. Concatenate the first name, last name and email address for all users.
Alias it to to_field. This will be used in the "To" field in email marketing.
-i don't really understand what it is asking me. can someone refrase it for me?

first_name 
last_name
email
The challenge would want to see this
as a single field with the name alias of "to_field".
Does that make more sense?

12,562 Pointsjust one more thing, I have written the code SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || "<" || email || ">" AS "to_field" FROM customers; and it sais that there is something wrong with my code. I don't see anything, is there something small I'm missing?

229,744 PointsThe challenge instructions say "In the library database there's a patrons table ...",
but this query is trying to select FROM customers.
