While his focus is MySQL, he does a fair job of injecting a bit about Oracle's syntax. Comparative concatenation syntax is one of topics I wished he'd spent more time on. Here's some clarification on cross platform SQL concatenation. Oracle Oracle supports two forms of string concatenation. Concatenation for those new to the idea means gluing two strings into one, or three strings into one, et cetera. One uses the || operator, which looks like two pipes. You can use the || operator between any number of string elements to glue them together. A quick example of the || operator that returns an ABCD string is: SELECT 'A' || 'B' || 'C' || 'D' FROM dual; The Oracle database also supports the CONCAT operator that many use in MySQL. Those converting to an Oracle database should beware the difference between how the CONCAT function is implemented in Oracle versus MySQL. In an Oracle database, the CONCAT function only takes two arguments. When you call it with three or more arguments like this: SELECT CONCAT('A','B','C','D') FROM dual; It raises the following exception: SELECT CONCAT('A','B','C','D') FROM dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00909: invalid NUMBER OF arguments You can use the CONCAT function to process more than two arguments but you must do so by calling the function recursively. You'd do it like this if you must use it: SELECT CONCAT('A',CONCAT('B',CONCAT('C','D'))) FROM dual; As to an Oracle specific SQL book recommendation, I'd go with Alan's as a beginner even though it's focus is MySQL. By the way, if you don't own Learning SQL hold off on buying it until the second edition is available in May 2009. If you're using Oracle and have some basic SQL competence, I'd suggest Mastering Oracle SQL, 2nd Edition by Sanjay Mishra and Alan Beaulieu as a reference. Just make sure you get the 2nd Edition of it too. MySQL MySQL appears to support the two same forms of string concatenation as an Oracle database. The one that uses the || operator (known as pipe concatenation), actually only returns a zero unless you configure the sql_mode to allow pipe concatenation. The following concatenation statement uses pipe concatenation: mysql> SELECT 'A'||'B'||'C'||'D'; +--------------------+ | 'A'||'B'||'C'||'D' | +--------------------+ | 0 | +--------------------+ 1 ROW IN SET, 4 warnings (0.00 sec) By default, this fails and returns a zero unless you've added the PIPES_AS_CONCAT mode to your sql_mode variable. It returns a zero because it attempts to see whether either of the adjoining elements are true. Strings inherently fail to resolve as expressions or Boolean values and the function
