Use the CONCAT() function to achieve this:

UPDATE tmpTable SET Textarea = concat(Textarea,'data you wish to add') WHERE ID 
= someID

HTH!

Subject: append information 

I have a question if you don't mind.
The update statement will replace the existing information. What if I 
 have Textarea instead and I want to add information to the field 
 without erasing previous information. Basically append information
