Mysql Error Function Concat Does Not Exist
Development. Before I begin it's worth nothing that this error is only a problem on certain versions of MySQL. The error in question is as follows: [Err] 1305 - FUNCTION databasename.CONCAT does not exist Let's take a look at a very simple query that would result in this error appearing: SELECT CONCAT ('foo', 'bar') The Solution The solution is an easy one. Simply remove the space after the word CONCAT. I've included below a revised (and working) version of the query from above. SELECT CONCAT('foo', 'bar') Related posts: MySQL Error Resolved - Subquery Returns More Than 1 Row Back to Basics: Calling a JavaScript Function on Page Load Resolving the CodeIgniter "No Input File Specified" Error Format a Number Within a String Using PHP preg_replace() Function MySQL ‘Column X cannot be null' When Performing UNION ALL Tags: MySQL, MySQL Error This entry was posted on Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 at 5:32 pm by +Steve Marks and is filed under MySQL, Web Development.

Should be GROUP_CONCAT(), not GROUP_CONTACT() Anonymous says: July 1, 2015 at 7:14 am SELECT subject,GROUP_CONTACT(description)FROM assignment WHERE standard_id='1′ AND section_id='61' AND assignment_date='2015-06-30′ GROUP BY subject; For above query , I am facing this error , what is the mistake, #1305 - FUNCTION ssv.GROUP_CONTACT does not exist. enof says: September 15, 2014 at 7:09 am finally an answer that works (but dont ask me why) thanks Steve Marks Search Search for: Categories (X)HTML / CSS Business Development Electronics Flash Gaming Javascript / jQuery Magento Miscellaneous MySQL PHP SEO Server Management Software Web Development Recent Posts Add Reply, Retweet and Favourite Buttons To Custom PHP Twitter Feed A Working Solution To "ERROR 1114: The table ‘x' is full" MySQL Error Our PropertyHive Plugin for WordPress Is Released ‘Change Directory Forbidden By Server' SVN Error When Trying To Push WordPress Plugin Get Image Alt, Caption, Description and More From Attachment ID in WordPress Home Portfolio Blog About Us Contact Us Contact Us e: info@biostall.com t: 0121 286 6667 Services Web Design Software Development E-Commer
comments and/ or rate it. Question: I want to concatenate 2 strings in my mysql database and I get the error message: ERROR 1305 (42000): FUNCTION support.concat does not exist How is that possible? Answer: In some mysql versions, you MUST NOT have a space after the function name. Try concat() instead of concat (). mysql> update s_resources set resource_path = concat (resource_path, '/'); ERROR 1305 (42000): FUNCTION support.concat does not exist mysql> update s_resources set resource_path = concat(resource_path, '/'); Query OK, 6 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 6 Changed: 6 Warnings: 0 Send a message to Subject http://biostall.com/resolving-mysql-error-function-concat-does-not-exist/ Comments: You are on page 1 of 2, other pages: [1] 22008-06-05, 12:28:22 anonymous Thanks - that was very helpful to me here in Boston. 2008-06-13, 03:19:19 lcilleful from Japan i wanna very thank you for the answer. 2008-07-10, 05:56:12 anonymous from Vietnam Oh mad.
