SQL query concatenation to create file path

Question

I need to create a file path from 3 columns in a SQL query. This will be utilized in a file once everything is completed. I have tried using CONCAT and string methods for the columns but no luck. The query is provided below.

SELECT 
    dbo.TBIndexData.DocGroup, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index1 AS Title, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index2 AS Meeting_Date, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index3 AS Meeting_Number,
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index4 AS Meeting_Type, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index5 AS Doc_Name, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index6 AS Doc_Type,
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index7 AS Meeting_Page, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index8 AS Notes, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index9 AS TBUser, 
    dbo.TBIndexData.Index10 AS Date_Scanned, 
    CONCAT (dbo.TBPrimary.FileDir + '\' + dbo.TBPrimary.TimsFileID + '.' + dbo.TBPrimary.FileExtension) AS FilePath
FROM 
    dbo.TBIndexData
JOIN 
    dbo.TBPrimary ON dbo.TBIndexData.DocGroup = dbo.TBPrimary.DocGroup

In SQL Server 2008 you need something like

SELECT I.DocGroup,
       I.Index1  AS Title,
       I.Index2  AS Meeting_Date,
       I.Index3  AS Meeting_Number,
       I.Index4  AS Meeting_Type,
       I.Index5  AS Doc_Name,
       I.Index6  AS Doc_Type,
       I.Index7  AS Meeting_Page,
       I.Index8  AS Notes,
       I.Index9  AS TBUser,
       I.Index10 AS Date_Scanned, 
       P.FileDir + '\' + CAST(P.TimsFileID AS VARCHAR(10)) + 
            '.' + P.FileExtension AS FilePath
FROM   dbo.TBIndexData I
       JOIN dbo.TBPrimary P
         ON I.DocGroup = P.DocGroup 

You shouldn't use schemaname.tablename in the SELECT list. This is not officially supported grammar . Just use tablename or give an alias.

(Using two part names there can lead to confusing errors if calling properties of columns of CLR datatypes)

尝试将CONCAT与逗号一起使用

CONCAT (dbo.TBPrimary.FileDir, '\\', dbo.TBPrimary.TimsFileID, '.', bo.TBPrimary.FileExtension) AS FilePath
