This sounds like one of the course challenges, but it doesn't look like you've written anything for it yet.

At least please give it your best "good faith" try, and then post your code if you're still having trouble with it.

I have tried and my code is

Select Name from Fruit where Name not like '[L-Z]%' UNION Select Name from Vegetable where Name Not like '[L-Z]%'

this code works at my local SQL database. However, it is still displaying error

Databases often have different features, and I don't think that SQLite (as used in the course) implements character classes (like '[L-Z]') as a matching wilcard method like some other databases do.

But what you can do is take advantage of how the comparison operator works with strings. For example, "name < 'L'" would also be a way to filter out words that being with L through Z.
