:What about select into? I was never sure how SQL-fu like that worked, though. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
::<code>select into</code> seems to be a non-standard extension to sql which is mostly used for creating backups of data in existing tables. Here, though, we have three lines -- the first two lines are analogous to variable declaration and variable assignment, and the last line illustrates the task requirement. That said, note that this || mechanism is the ansi standard way to concatenate string (introduced in sql-92) and some implementations of sql (such as mysql)
::: Stick with the ANSI standard; the deviants can have their own entries (or at least their own sub-solution). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 23:40, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
