对照Oracle，MySQL的几个使用字符串函数

[PHP]

1、concat()函数
1.1 MySQL的concat函数可以连接一个或者多个字符串,如
MysqL> select concat('10');
+--------------+
| concat('10') |
+--------------+
| 10 |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MysqL> select concat('11','22','33');
+------------------------+
| concat('11','22','33') |
+------------------------+
| 112233 |
+------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

而Oracle的concat函数只能连接两个字符串
sql> select concat('11','22') from dual;

1.2 MysqL的concat函数在连接字符串的时候，只要其中一个是NULL,那么将返回NULL
MysqL> select concat('11','22',null);
+------------------------+
| concat('11','22',null) |
+------------------------+
| NULL |
+------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

而Oracle的concat函数连接的时候，只要有一个字符串不是NULL,就不会返回NULL
sql> select concat('11',NULL) from dual;

CONCAT
--
11

2、concat_ws()函数, 表示concat with separator,即有分隔符的字符串连接
如连接后以逗号分隔
MysqL> select concat_ws(',','11','22','33');
+-------------------------------+
| concat_ws(',','11','22','33') |
+-------------------------------+
| 11,22,33 |
+-------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

和concat不同的是, concat_ws函数在执行的时候,不会因为NULL值而返回NULL
MysqL> select concat_ws(',','11','22',NULL);
+-------------------------------+
| concat_ws(',','11','22',NULL) |
+-------------------------------+
| 11,22 |
+-------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

3、group_concat()可用来行转列, Oracle没有这样的函数
完整的语法如下
group_concat([disTINCT] 要连接的字段 [Order BY ASC/DESC 排序字段] [Separator '分隔符'])
如下例子
MysqL> select * from aa;
+------+------+
| id | name |
+------+------+
| 1 | 10 |
| 1 | 20 |
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 200 |
| 3 | 500 |
+------+------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

3.1 以id分组，把name字段的值打印在一行，逗号分隔(默认)
MysqL> select id,group_concat(name) from aa group by id;
+------+--------------------+
| id | group_concat(name) |
+------+--------------------+
| 1 | 10,20,20 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 200,500 |
+------+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

3.2 以id分组，把name字段的值打印在一行，分号分隔
MysqL> select id,group_concat(name separator ';') from aa group by id;
+------+----------------------------------+
| id | group_concat(name separator ';') |
+------+----------------------------------+
| 1 | 10;20;20 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 200;500 |
+------+----------------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

3.3 以id分组，把去冗余的name字段的值打印在一行，逗号分隔
MysqL> select id,group_concat(distinct name) from aa group by id;
+------+-----------------------------+
| id | group_concat(distinct name) |
+------+-----------------------------+
| 1 | 10,20 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 200,500 |
+------+-----------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

3.4 以id分组，把name字段的值打印在一行，逗号分隔,以name排倒序
MysqL> select id,group_concat(name order by name desc) from aa group by id;
+------+---------------------------------------+
| id | group_concat(name order by name desc) |
+------+---------------------------------------+
| 1 | 20,20,10 |
| 2 | 20 |
| 3 | 500,200 |
+------+---------------------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

4、repeat()函数，用来复制字符串,如下'ab'表示要复制的字符串，2表示复制的份数
MysqL> select repeat('ab',2);
+----------------+
| repeat('ab',2) |
+----------------+
| abab |
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

又如
MysqL> select repeat('a',2);
+---------------+
| repeat('a',2) |
+---------------+
| aa |
+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

..
