I'm stuck on this mySQL problem which uses the authors table: Display all Search ID and names of the authors. Below is what the output is supposed to look like. The Search ID needs the first 3 letters of the author's last name capitalized and the last 4 digits of their phone number. The output also needs the last name and first name of the authors.

This is what the author's table looks like:

I know the concatenate function needs to be used to combine them. I thought another way was to use the pipe symbol (||) but mySQL doesn't support it.

The closest I've come is this for the Search ID:

SELECT CONCAT(LEFT (au_lname, 3), UPPER(au_lname), RIGHT (phone, 4)) AS 'Search ID' FROM authors;

And this for the names:

SELECT CONCAT(au_lname, ', ', au_fname) AS "name" FROM authors ORDER BY au_lname;

I don't know how to combine these to get the output in the first image. Can someone help?
