String concatenation does not work in SQLite

I am trying to execute a SQlite replace function, but use another field in the function.

select  locationname + '<p>' from location;

In this snip, the result is a list of 0s. I would have expected a string with the text from locationname and the '<p>' literals.

Solution

  • Try using || in place of + 

    select  locationname || '<p>' from location;

    From SQLite documentation:

    The || operator is "concatenate" - it joins together the two strings of its operands.
