Question

I am trying to convert this MSSQL QUERY to MYSQL

Query looks like this

select tu.FirstName+' '+tu.LastName as name,tg.Name as game_name,tg.Status,tg.UserId,tg.gameid from tblUsers tu    
inner join tblGame tg on  
tu.UserId=tg.UserId where tg.Name LIKE @Name + '%' 

the same query doesnt return any records when i run it on MYSQL, what is the issue ? It works good on SQL server

Answer 1

SELECT CONCAT_WS(' ', tu.FirstName, tu.LastName) AS name, tg.Name AS game_name,tg.Status,tg.UserId,tg.gameid
FROM tblUsers tu    
INNER JOIN tblGame tg ON tu.UserId=tg.UserId
WHERE tg.Name LIKE CONCAT(tu.FirstName, ' ', tu.LastName, '%')

Notes:

• it’s case insensitive, I’ve used upper case just for readability
• I’ve intentionally used both concat and concat_ws to show them as options
