What is the method for concatenating strings in Oracle?
In Oracle databases, string concatenation is usually done using the concatenation operator “||”. Here are some examples:
- Join the two strings together using a connector.
SELECT 'Hello ' || 'World' FROM dual;
Output: Greetings Earth
- Concatenating column values and strings.
SELECT first_name || ' ' || last_name FROM employees;
Output: John Doe
- Concatenate column values, strings, and function results.
SELECT 'Dear ' || first_name || ', your salary is ' || salary || '.' FROM employees;
Dear John, your salary is 5000.
or
Dear John, your monthly income is 5000.
Please note that in Oracle, the string concatenation operator is non-standard; other databases may use different operators or functions to achieve string concatenation.
