How to Add Text to SQL Column

How can I add text to SQL Column

You can simply update column using statement

update TableName set ColumnName  = 'www.mypizza.com/' + ColumnName  

How can I add text to my column's select statement

Just use cast or convert to convert it all to varchar for instance.

SELECT 'Please try after' + CAST((1328724983-time)/60/60 as varchar(80)) AS status 
  FROM voting 
  WHERE account = 'ThElitEyeS' AND vid = 1;

See the MSDN on Cast / Convert

Based on your comments you can do:

SELECT 'Please try again after' + CAST(MyColForHours as varchar(25)) + ' hours', AnyOtherColumns FROM Table

How do I add text to a column that already has text in it in SQL (I want to add the new text to the end of the text that is currently stored)

In supported versions of SQL Server you can employ one of two options:

SELECT foo + 'some text'
  FROM bar;

or

SELECT CONCAT(foo, 'some text')
  FROM bar;

Persisting that change to the table can be done with an UPDATE that sets the column value to the concatenated value like so:

UPDATE bar
   SET foo = CONCAT(foo, 'some text');

Note that executing this update without a WHERE clause will change data in all the rows of your table and should likely not be done - always strive to define a WHERE clause on your UPDATES

And a note to improve you question quality: "SQL" is a generic term for a language (the Structured Query Language) that has standard specifications that have been implemented in (sometimes very) different ways by different vendors. Please try to be specific about the RDBMS and version that you are working with, as any given answer may vary substantially depending upon the vendor.

How to Add Long Text Column to Access Table Via Query

Found the answer shortly after posting the question. Using the query

ALTER TABLE TestTable ADD Description LONGTEXT;

creates a new column of type "Long Text". It should be noted that a character count was not necessary for this type.

Add text to a field with sql query

Use CONCAT. Something like this:

UPDATE mytable SET myfield = CONCAT('f21 -', myfield)

SQL Server - Add text at the beginning of each record

You could update the table by using its own entry (TableNames column) like this:

update MyTable set TableNames = 'dbo.' + TableNames;
commit;

and commit is just to commit the execution result.
