The question is
Select the Employee's First Name, concatenated to the Last name, separated by a space. Call the column 'Employee Name,'
the length of this employee name Length, the location of the first 'a' in the name 'A Location,' and the 5–9 characters from
the name 'Substring.' Order the results by the Employee Name using the alias.
9 rows returned.

I'm having problems doing this one. The only part I did and can't understand to do the next step was: And this part I did with help of your SQL tutorial.

SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName
FROM Employees;

You have almost completed the first portion of it... I'll give you a push in the right direction... Name a column by using the AS keyword, like this:

SQL

select FirstName + ' ' + LastName as [Employee Name]
from Employees;

The next parts you need to use the len() function, instr(), mid() and Order By.

Have a crack at it.
