3，FIND_IN_SET(str,strlist)

上面我只例舉了一部分對字符串進行操作的函數，並且是我覺得我們平時會用的，有可能會用到的一些函數。
在MySQL中進行字符串的拼接要使用CONCAT()函數，CONCAT()函數支持一個或者多個參數，參數類型可以為字符串類型也可以是非字符串類 型。對於非字符串類型的參數MySQL將嘗試將其轉化為字符串類型，CONCAT()函數會將所有參數按照參數的順序拼接成一個字符串作為返回值。比如下 面的SQL語句用於將用戶的多個字段信息以一個字段的形式查詢出來：
SELECT CONCAT('Staff Number :', 'Happiness Index', FNumber, FSalary/(FAge-21)) from t_employee +----------------------------------------------------------+ | concat | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Staff number: Happiness index of DEV001 is 2075.000000 | | Staff number: Happiness index of DEV002 is 328.571429 | | NULL | | Staff number: Happiness index of HR001 is 2150.000000 | | Staff number: Happiness index of HR002 is 825.000000 | | Staff number: Happiness index of IT001 is 785.714286 | | Staff number: Happiness index of IT002 is 466.666667 | | Staff number: Happiness index of SALES001 is 1325.000000 | | Staff number: Happiness index of SALES002 is 592.857143 | +----------------------------------------------------------+
MYSQL中還提供了另外一個進行字符串拼接的函數CONCAT_WS，CONCAT_WS可以在待拼接的字符串之間加入指定的分割符。它的第一個參數值為采用的分隔符，而剩下的參數則為待拼接的字符串值，比如執行下面的SQL：
SELECT CONCAT_WS(', ', FNumber,FAge, FDepartment, FSalary) FROM T_Employee +------------------------------------------------------+ | concat_ws(', ', FNumber, FAge, FDepartment, FSalary) | +------------------------------------------------------+ | DEV001, 25, Development, 8300.00 | | DEV002, 28, Development, 2300.00 | | DEV003, Development, 3333.00 | | HR001, 23, HumanResource, 4300.00 | | HR002, 25, HumanResource, 3300.00 | | IT001, 28, InfoTech, 5500.00 | | IT002, 27, InfoTech, 2800.00 | | SALES001, 25, Sales, 5300.00 | | SALES002, 35, Sales, 8300.00 | +------------------------------------------------------+
