948 PointsHello I'm a not understanding this can someone assist I thought this was saying to concatenate first, last, email?
In the library database there's a patrons table listing all the users of the library. The columns are id, first_name, last_name, address, email, library_id and zip_code.
Generate a list of strings that are in the following format: Andrew Chalkley andrew@teamtreehouse.com. Concatenate the first name, last name and email address for all users.
Alias it to to_field. This will be used in the "To" field in email marketing

If you still have trouble, show your complete query code.

You will also need to put the angle symbols on either side of the email as part of your concatenation.
