sql as tables

In the library database there's a patrons table with the columns id, first_name, last_name, address, email, library_id, and zip_code.

The library is generating new library cards that will display the full name and their library ID. The full name needs to have the last name in all caps. Create a report with two columns of results, one is an alias of full_name the second being the library_id.

my code returns "Bob", "smith" 22022 and not "Bob SMITH", 22022

It sounds like you need to use concatenation to join the names into one field (with an alias of "full_name"), and the UPPER function to convert the last name.

If you need more specific help, please show your complete query code.
