I am asked to do the following:



Create a new table, named sec0902_employees, that adds two new columns to the l_employees table.



Create the new columns by using the following row functions:



Column Name: full_name



Access: first_name & ' ' & last_name



Column Name: new_credit_limit



Access: credit_limit + 10.00



Here is my code:



select l_employees.*, 
first_name & ‘ ‘ & last_name as full_name,
credit_limit as new_credit_limit + 10.00
into sec0902_employees
from l_employees;


This is the error:



Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ‘first_name & ‘ ‘ & last_name as full_name’



enter image description here



Here is a screen shot of the original l_employees table:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide :-)

Did you mean:



(credit_limit + 10.00) as new_credit_limit


the alias of the new column is new_credit_limit

and it consists of the value of credit_limit + 10.00 isn't it?
