Challenge Task 1 of 2 for the Contenation exercise, inputting code as:
SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email || AS "to_field" FROM patrons
And it only tells me "Something's wrong."
I wish it would show you the correct answer so you could learn instead of just telling you it's wrong...

54,967 PointsI'm assuming you got it by now - but just in case
SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">" AS "to_field" FROM patrons

886 PointsThanks Kris; I feel like it's troubling because there wasn't anything in the lesson I recall about being able to leave a "dangling concatenation" (for lack of a better term of what to call it when I don't close it on both side with the pipes)...

886 PointsRight, but I am unclear on how it wants me to get that part in; I tried several ways and it keeps telling me I'm still wrong.
