How do I select the column called email from the table called patrons so that all the email would appear between the <> operators. Example: sjhs@hotmail.com.
The email column is to be concatenated with first and last mame columns, and the emails are to show in the format of the example above.

SELECT '<' || email || '>' FROM patrons
You might want to remove the link from your example email address so bots don't find it and spam it.
