Inserting multiple parameter values into a single column with MySQL?

To insert multiple parameter values into a single column, use the CONCAT_WS() or CONCAT(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   Name varchar(100),
   Age int,
   CountryName varchar(100),
   PersonInformation text
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.67 sec)

Following is the query to insert multiple parameter values into a single column. We will do this using the same INSERT command, which is used to insert records in a MySQL table −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John',21,'US',concat_ws('-',Name,Age,CountryName));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris',22,'AUS',concat_ws('-',Name,Age,CountryName));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Bob',24,'UK',concat_ws('-',Name,Age,CountryName));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+-------+------+-------------+-------------------+
| Name  | Age  | CountryName | PersonInformation |
+-------+------+-------------+-------------------+
| John  | 21   | US          | John-21-US        |
| Chris | 22   | AUS         | Chris-22-AUS      |
| Bob   | 24   | UK          | Bob-24-UK         |
+-------+------+-------------+-------------------+
