Greetings,

Ever wanted to add a suffix 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(field_name, ' my suffix here')
where field_name='the field value here'; #optional condition

So if the field’s value if “New York” and you add the suffix ” City” then our sql command will make the update and the new field’s value will be “New York City”. (notice the space added before the suffix. In our example it was necessary).

Good luck!
