Using Concatenation to add angular brackets around an email? Like so <andrew@teamtreehouse.com>.

Hi, I am have troubling with "Reporting with SQL" Challenge task 1 on the topic of Concatenation. Here is my code. SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email AS to_field FROM patrons;

I am trying to get the result "FirstName LastName Name@example.com." but I can only get the result "FirstName LastName Name@example.com". I am trying to figure out how to add angular brackets "<>". Any assistance is much appreciated.

You didn't blockquote your code, so I'm not sure your examples are being displayed as you intended.

:point_right: But including the angles inside strings should do the job:

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">" AS to_field FROM patrons;
