Hello,
Having issues with syntax here and the spacing I believe.
The challenge is
- In an ecommerce database there's a addresses table. There is an id, nickname, street, city, state, zip, country and user_id columns.
- Concatenate the street, city, state, zip and country in the following format. Street, City, State Zip. Country e.g. 34 NE 12 st, Portland, OR 97129. USA
- Alias the concatenated string as address
Answer: I've come up with the following. There's a space after the commas, minutes the . for the zip but I added another space inbetween it and Country. Thoughts?
select Street || ", " || City || ", " || State || " " || Zip || "." || " " || Country || as address from addresses;

Optionally, you could combine the period and space into one string as you did with the comma/space strings.
