Hello all,
I have a database with a type "longtext" called "notes".
Say I wanted to append some text to this field, what command would I use?
I have tried the following sql.. update clients set notes=notes+"text to append" where id=1;
But this doesn't seem to do the job.
I am new to MySQL so sorry if I've asked an obvious question!
Many thanks in advance,
Steve.
PS. What is needed is a database to store notes on each client which can be added to as necessary. If anyone has a better idea of a way to do this, I'd be very grateful for any help! Cheers.
