Monet wants to append something to the current value, so I think CONCAT() is needed:

  UPDATE temp
  SET ReviewComments = CONCAT(ReviewComments, ', WHC')
  WHERE ... ;

Yes, UPDATE ... SET... is exactly what you would use. Just set the column to be the combined value of the two values.
Please read: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/UPDATE.html


UPDATE tablename
SET fieldname = 'new list of values that you wanted'
WHERE _where_conditions_

Hi all,

I though it is impossible to do that but I like check
with you guys in case it is just because I never heard
it.
I have a table with a text column. Is there any way I
can append some word into this field when I update the
table?
For instance,
Table temp, column ReviewComments, data type of
ReviewComments is varchar.
Value in âReviewCommentsâ is âPSRCâ. After update, value in âReviewCommentsâ should be
âPSRC, WHCâ


Can I do that by using UPDATE â SET â.

Thanks a lot.

Monet
