Question

Can someone give me an example of how I can alter a table value that has text inside already,
and keep that text but add new text in front of the existing text?
I’m trying to add additional text to 1600+ fields.

I was looking at MySQL and found reference to concatenate CONCAT, but as I understand, it adds text after a certain value.

If you want to change the value of a column use the UPDATE statement:

update myTable set myColumn = concat('some text before', myColumn, 'some text after') where <where condition>
