You could simply do this:
UPDATE WorkOrder
SET name2=name1+' '+name2
Question
How do i loop in t-sql for every row the table has? I have a table, WorkOrder it has two columns: name, name2. Now what I want is the values for the name column, be appended on the name2 column.
So for example, I have this row:
name | name2
test | test2
I want the name column to be appended on the name2 column so that it looks like this for every row.
name | name2
test | test test2
How do i do that? thanks
another question:
what if the combination of both columns exceeded the character limit for that column? When that happens I would like to ignore that row, and continue updating the others
