String concatenation
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The SQL standard defines the concatenation operator to be an infix operator, similar to the ones we've seen in the chapter about arithmetic expressions. This operator looks like this: ||
. Some other dialects do not support this operator, but expect a concat()
function, instead. jOOQ renders the right operator / function, depending on your SQL dialect:
SELECT 'A' || 'B' || 'C' FROM DUAL -- Or in MySQL: SELECT concat('A', 'B', 'C') FROM DUAL
// For all RDBMS, including MySQL: create.select(concat("A", "B", "C")).fetch();
