To concatenate strings in Oracle, you can use the || operator. This operator allows you to combine multiple strings into one. For example, if you want to concatenate the strings 'Hello' and 'World', you can do so like this:
SELECT 'Hello' || 'World' FROM dual;
This will result in the output 'HelloWorld'. You can also concatenate column values from a table by using the || operator in a SELECT statement. Just specify the column names and the desired concatenation sequence.

How to concatenate strings using the CONCAT_WS function in Oracle?
To concatenate strings using the CONCAT_WS function in Oracle, you can follow these steps:
- Write a SELECT statement and use the CONCAT_WS function to concatenate the strings.
- The syntax of the CONCAT_WS function is as follows: CONCAT_WS(separator, string1, string2, string3, ...)
- Specify the separator as the first parameter in the CONCAT_WS function. This separator is used to separate the concatenated strings.
- Specify the strings that you want to concatenate as subsequent parameters in the function.
Example:
1 2 |
SELECT CONCAT_WS(',', 'John', 'Doe', '123 Main Street') AS full_name_address FROM dual; |
This will concatenate the strings 'John', 'Doe', and '123 Main Street' with a comma separator between them and return the result as 'John,Doe,123 Main Street'.
What is the SQL standard for string concatenation in Oracle?

How to concatenate strings with a space in Oracle?
In Oracle, you can concatenate strings using the || operator. To concatenate two strings with a space in between, you can use the following syntax:
1 2 |
SELECT string1 || ' ' || string2 AS concatenated_string FROM your_table; |
In this example, string1 and string2 are the two strings you want to concatenate, and the || ' ' || part is used to add a space between the two strings. The result will be a new string with the two original strings concatenated with a space in between.
