Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( FirstName varchar(100), CountryName varchar(100) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Adam','US'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David','AUS'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris','UK'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John','US'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Carol','AUS'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+-------------+ | FirstName | CountryName | +-----------+-------------+ | Adam | US | | David | AUS | | Chris | UK | | John | US | | Carol | AUS | +-----------+-------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to concatenate a specific column value with the corresponding record −
mysql> select concat(FirstName,' ',CountryName) AS NameWithCountry from DemoTable having NameWithCountry LIKE '%John%';
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+ | NameWithCountry | +-----------------+ | John US | +-----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
