Courses Plus Student 6,634 PointsI followed all the examples but I'm getting an error that says the query is not returning through A and K.
Is it my syntax?
SELECT Name FROM Fruit WHERE Name BETWEEN "A" AND "K" UNION SELECT Name FROM Vegetable WHERE Name BETWEEN "A" AND "K" ORDER BY Name;

You might want to make use of an inequality comparison, since they work on dictionary order when used with strings.
Also, I don't think the task asks you to ORDER the results in any particular way.

Courses Plus Student 6,634 PointsThank you. I solved it by using WHERE Name < "L". Could I have used LIKE "A%" AND "K%" also?
Steven Parker
229,732 PointsThat expression isn't complete, but even if you used WHERE Name LIKE "A%" OR Name LIKE "K%" that would only give you names starting with "A" and "K" and nothing in between. Combining with AND would produce no output, because no name could start with both letters.
