Append a string to all the values in a column SQL

Sub: Append a string to all the values in a column SQL
Hi all,

This might be a very simple query. But I am new to SQL programming.
Hope someone can help me.

I have a table ---

1634 Fred los angeles
123 Sam
1245 abc
1231 ....
1278 .....
578 ....

I want to append TD before the numbers in the first column, I know
there should be a simple statement for this. But I am not getting it as
I have done SQL.
I would like to get

TD1634 Fred los angeles
TD123 Sam
TD1245 abc
TD1231 ....
TD1278 .....
TD578 ....

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

I seem to have hit a snag. I am trying to add the list (l_local) as an item in the output list (l_output). "l_local" is a modified copy of the format-list "l_format", which will be updated by index position within the function. The problem occurs in the following statement block: def create_apid_list(l_format,l_values): l_output = for t_curr_line in l_values: # ...for each list in the values list

In Access I have a macro that, each night, takes a table with a primary key defined in it, and deletes all the rows. Then it imports/appends records from a fixed width text file. In this way, since the table is not deleted and recreated, the primary key is kept intact. What would be the equivalent SQL method for doing this in an automated way? I've tried letting DTS import the table from Access, but the primary key is lost. Is there...

Currently, I must use a parameter query to key in the invoice date in order to preview/print an invoice from the Invoice Dialog...

Hello! I have below a for loop and a switch in the for loop. I have also a enum called colBlowStep with some values. I have also an array called m_columnBlowStep with some strings. All items in the array m_columnBlowStep is string because I have used ToString on each enum item as you can see. I want to use enum in the case statment in the switch. I know I can use string but I rather want to use enum.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
