1,856 PointsWhy doesn't my query work? Name of Fruit and Veg between A - K
I've tried various combinations of something like this:
SELECT Name FROM Fruit UNION SELECT Name FROM Vegetable WHERE Name >= 'A' AND Name <= 'K'

SELECT name FROM Fruit WHERE name between "A" AND "L"
UNION
SELECT name FROM Vegetable WHERE name between "A" AND "L"

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 14,032 Pointsyou can try something like this
SELECT name FROM fruit WHERE(LEFT(name,1) >= "a" AND LEFT(name,1) <= "k")
UNION
SELECT name FROM vegetable WHERE (LEFT(name,1) >= "a" AND LEFT(name,1) <= "k")

17,787 PointsTry using the BETWEEN operator, and remember this will not include the right range so go to 'L'
