MySQL的Concat()函式是用來連線兩個字串，形成一個字串。試試下面的例子：
mysql> SELECT CONCAT('FIRST ', 'SECOND');
+----------------------------+
| CONCAT('FIRST ', 'SECOND') |
+----------------------------+
| FIRST SECOND |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
要理解 CONCAT() 函式更詳細資訊，考慮employee_tbl表，它有以下記錄：
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl; +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
現在假設在上表的基礎上，要連線所有員工的名字，id 和 work_date，那麼可以使用以下命令做到這一點：
mysql> SELECT CONCAT(id, name, work_date)
-> FROM employee_tbl;
+-----------------------------+
| CONCAT(id, name, work_date) |
+-----------------------------+
| 1John2007-01-24 |
| 2Ram2007-05-27 |
| 3Jack2007-05-06 |
| 3Jack2007-04-06 |
| 4Jill2007-04-06 |
| 5Zara2007-06-06 |
| 5Zara2007-02-06 |
+-----------------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
