MySQL CONCAT: Combine Strings Easily

In MySQL, the CONCAT function can be used to concatenate strings. For example, here is a query example:

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name) AS full_name
FROM employees;

In this example, we are querying the first_name and last_name columns from the employees table, concatenating them together using the CONCAT function, and then returning the result as an alias called full_name.

You can also use constant strings in the CONCAT function, as shown below:

SELECT CONCAT('Hello, ', first_name) AS greeting
FROM employees;

This will add a fixed greeting before the first name and then return the result as an alias called greeting.
