Text of the challenge: There are two tables Fruit and Vegetable table. The Fruit table has a FruitID and a Name column and the Vegetable table has a VegetableID and Name column. Create a list of all fruits and vegetables starting with the letters A through K . In other words all fruit and vegetables that don't start with the letter L to Z.

Where clause that you want to use is WHERE name <"L" (It will check on 1st letter of name related to position in alphabet - letters A through K satisfy this)

Full sql statement would be something like this:

SELECT name FROM fruit WHERE name <"L" UNION SELECT name FROM vegetable WHERE name < "L";
