Greetings,
Ever wanted to add a preffix to a mysql field’s value? The CONCAT string function can help you. Here’s how you can do it:
UPDATE `your_table` SET field_name = CONCAT('my prefix here ', field_name)
where field_name='the field value here'; #optional condition
Example: You can use this command to add a prefix for a telephone number.
Good luck!
