i want to combine two fields and have used the the following query - UPDATE SudentInfo SET
-
image1name = CONCAT(imagepath,UserName,'1');
this works but the thing is when a new record is added the query is not applied and i have to manually execute the query again.
Is there a way to automate this so that the query is applied to all subsequent records?
Cheers

Hi.
Why do you want to duplicate your data like that?
It would make much more sense to combine the fields when the data is read, rather then storing duplicates of data that already exists.
However, if you want to do it this way, you could look into Triggers.
Ya, u can use trigers for updating columns or the other way is to concatenate columns while fetching records.
I needed to combine two fields into one, so i executed this query
UPDATE Students SET
image1 = CONCAT(imagepat h, image1name);
This worked, but the problem is that whenever a new record is added i have to manually re-enter and execute the query, is there any way to achieve the same outcome (image1 = imagepath+image 1name) for all subsequent records that would be entered, without me having to do it manually?

are you using this query in a application or how you going to get those two values to that query? is it a user input? be more specific with your question.

Hi all
I need to add data from two Excel sheets (both on the same workbook)
to an existing table in my SQL DB.
The problem is that each sheet holds different fields for the same
record, though the records are sorted by row numbers.
(I had to split the fields to different sheets because Excel has a
limit of 256 fields in each sheet)
My sheets are quite large (~55,000 rows and 200 columns each) and I'll

Hey,
I have some problems combining 2 fields in a query.
For example: the first field is "1050-04" and the second field is
"02".
However, when i try to combine these two the zero in the second field
disappears. So it reads "1050-042" but i want it to be "1050-0402".
The number 02 increases, so when it reaches 10+ it should be like
"1050-0410".

Hello Experts!
I would like to combine (which may not be the correct technical term) two
text fields from the same table in a query. Specifically, text field A and

all the names, not A next to B like one gets when you use the & operator.
The eventual goal is to be able to print labels of all the individuals. I
have no problem creating a label-Report from the Query....
