A common expression most database developers are familiar with CONCATENATE. It combines text data from multiple columns and represents it as a single string.

As can be seen from the above screenshots a severe limitation of CONCATENATE is that it can accept only two inputs at a time. Here we use Concatenate to generate a string for STATE +”|”+CITY format.
The SQL Equivalent is
SELECT CONCAT(CONCAT('ABCD','EFGH'),'IJKL')
