MySQL query to concat prefix to existing value in a field - mysql

Question

My table structure is as follows,
ID Name Source
1 John first.jpg
2 Doe second.jpg
3 Mary third.jpg
4 Kurian four.jpg
I would like to update the "Source" by prepending with the host and primary key as follows
http://example.com/1/first.jpg
http://example.com/2/second.jpg
http://example.com/3/third.jpg
http://example.com/4/four.jpg
tried with CONCAT("http://example.com/"+id,Source) but fails with Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value:
Any suggestion will be greatly apreciated.

Answer 1

Try
UPDATE table_name
SET Source = CONCAT('http://example.com/', ID, '/', Source);
Result
| ID | Name | Source |
|----|--------|---------------------------------|
| 1 | john | http://example.com/1/first.jpg |
| 2 | Doe | http://example.com/2/second.jpg |
| 3 | Mary | http://example.com/3/third.jpg |
| 4 | Kurian | http://example.com/4/fourth.jpg |

Answer 2

checkout this
SELECT CONCAT("http://example.com/" , CONCAT(ID , CONCAT("/" , Source))) FROM table_name;
or simply
SELECT CONCAT("http://example.com/" ,ID , "/" , Source) FROM table_name;

Answer 3

You can iterate in sql but the easiest way is to create a php script in which you create an array with the rows of the table
Then use the dot si tax to concat ID with the domain name and the source, something like:
$newval = ‘{$table[“ID”]}’ .“/Domainname.com/” . ’{$table[“Source”]}’;
Where $table is a variable storing the associative array of the table
And then make a new query in which you override the source column for each row in the table array

Answer 4

Please try below code:
UPDATE table_Name
SET Source = concat(concat(CONCAT('http://example.com/',ID),'/'),source);
