Question

I am having multipe tables + different fields and I try to do something like this:

SELECT
   `title` as title,
   `manufacturer`+`model` as content /* I want to achieve this as well */
   `type` = 'auto_table' /* custom variable w/ value auto_table to know from where is this data*/
    FROM `auto`
    WHERE `title` LIKE '%bmw%'
    OR
    `manufacturer` LIKE '%bmw'
    OR
    `other_data` LIKE '%bmw'
UNION
    SELECT
       `title` as title,
       `content` as content
       `type` = 'news_page' /* custom variable w/ value news_page to know from where is this data*/
        FROM `news`
        WHERE `title` LIKE '%bmw%'
        OR
        `content` LIKE '%bmw'

I mean I want to add a row with its value during select on the fly.
Another one I want to combine two fields into one like manufacturer+model as title

Answer 1

CONCAT (manufacturer, model) as content
