At times, we need to concatenate the values of columns and present it to the user. Let us see how to Concatenate Column Values in SQL Server 2005, espcially when one column is a varchar and the other is an integer.

-- SCRIPT To Create Table

CREATE TABLE #Customers (id integer, cname varchar(20), pincode int)

-- INSERT sample rows

INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (1, 'Jack',45454 )
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (2, 'Jill', 43453)
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (3, 'Tom', 43453)
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (4, 'Kathy', 34544)
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (5, 'David', 65443)
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (6, 'Kathy', 65445)
INSERT INTO #Customers VALUES (7, 'Kim', 65443)
