See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/String_functions.html, in particular, you
need CONCAT()

It's like that: 

SELECT data FROM table WHERE eventID = ? ORDER BY ID;

In case you need to concatenate the data in SELECT, here's a clue: 

SELECT concat(data1,' ',data2,' ',data3) FROM table WHERE eventID = ? ORDER BY ID;
