How can you place angle brackets around the output data?

I am working on an assignment where part of what's being asked was not covered in the material:

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.

This is what I have so far:

select first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email AS "to_field" from patrons;

I am missing the angle brackets around the email address.

You just put them inside strings, like any other character:

select first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">" AS "to_field" from patrons;
