Select “Name” + ( ':__________') from table

Question

I have select:

select name from table

My answer is:

Alex

Is it possible somehow to get a response, "Alex: __________" on my select?

Answer 1

Use string concatenation:

SELECT name || ': __________' FROM table

However, I would question whether this is really the job for an SQL query or whether you should be doing the formatting in whatever middle tier language is calling the database.

Answer 2

Perhaps you want a fix length of the answer then you should use something like:

SELECT RPAD(name || ': ', 30,'_') from table

you can use CONCAT function

select CONCAT(name,': __________' ) from table
