For more specific help, always show your code and also provide a link the course page you are working with.

Courses Plus Student 1,758 PointsThank you, that worked. I had tried:
SELECT Name FROM Fruit WHERE Name IN ('A%','B%','C%', 'D%', 'E%', 'F%', 'G%', 'H%', 'I%', 'J%', 'K%') UNION SELECT Name FROM Vegetable WHERE Name IN ('A%','B%,'C%', 'D%', 'E%', 'F%', 'G%', 'H%', 'I%', 'J%', 'K%') ORDER BY Name;
as well as trying to use
WHERE Name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'L'
Surprisingly those didnt work.

IN", they only work with "LIKE".
