CONCAT_WS() works as well, but the format is still the same. You still want to
add your new data to your old data.
UPDATE tmpTable SET Textarea = CONCAT_WS(',',Textarea,'data you wish to add')
WHERE ID = someID
Just remember to make the delimiter something that you wouldn't normally see in
a textfield so that you can differentiate between the new text and the old text.

Use the CONCAT() function to achieve this:

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
