I have two columns with mySQL:

“part_no”

“pdf_link”

I need the “pdf_link” column to automatically grab/duplicate the “part_no” value and add a .pdf extension on the end.

For example: If part_no = 00-12345-998, then pdf_link = 00-12345-998.pdf

I need this to happen every time I insert.

I appreciate the help.

you can achive this effect by using triggers I think.

CREATE TRIGGER ins_pdf AFTER INSERT ON MY_TABLE SET @pdf_link = concat(@part_no,'.pdf')
