Hi Jim,
Unfortunately you do have to use the CONCAT() function to make sure it
works on all MySQL installations. The operator used in other DBs, and
which can be used in MySQL when running in ANSI mode, is ||, not +:
SELECT firstname || ' ' || lastname AS ful
t if MySQL isn't in ANSI mode (specifically, the PIPES_AS_CONCAT
part), which is typical since it's not enabled by default, || is logical
OR. :-(
