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 : SELECT first_name || " " || UPPER (last_name) AS "full_name", library_id FROM patrons;

Your query works fine for me.
I tried pasting it directly into task 2 of this challenge and it passed. Unless it's the wrong challenge?
If it's still not working for you, please provide a link the the actual challenge you are working with.

first part^
select first_name || " " || UPPER(last_name) AS "full_name" , library_id FROM patrons;
^for the second part^
the space between function name and argument is causing a problem it would be: UPPER(<argument>) hope it helps!

Courses Plus Student 36,143 PointsIs the UPPER supposed to transform both first and last name....? It looks like it is affecting only the last name here.
