Join Two String Value using MySQL CONCAT Function in Java

This tutorial is all about “Join Two String Value using MySQL CONCAT Function in Java”. This will teach you on how you can join two string values from MySQL database and display it into a Table in Java. We use “CONCAT” function in MySQL Query to join to value.

MySQL CONCAT function in Java is used to concatenate two strings to form a single string. In actual database, the first name and last name is set in specific column in MySQL. Using CONCAT, the first name and last name joined using CONCAT to form a single line of string when display in Table.

Join Two String Value using MySQL CONCAT Function in Java Steps

Create or add a new Form inside your source package and input your desired name.

Design your form just look like the image below.

Insert the following codes below to access the required libraries for this program.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumnModel;
import net.proteanit.sql.DbUtils;

 

Insert the following codes below for variable declaration needed in accessing MySQL Database.

Connection conn=null;
ResultSet rs = null;
PreparedStatement pst=null;[/java]

Insert the codes below inside your public method to connect to your MySQL Connection class. Check your MySQL Connection statement to identify your connection method. In my case, I used "MyDbConnection".
[java]conn = dbConnection.MyDbConnection();[/java]

Create a new method inside your class. In my case, I use “loadData” method name.[java]public final void loadData(){}

Insert the following codes below inside your new created method. As you notice that CONCAT is in the SELECT query conbining the FirstName and LastName attribute from userinfo entity.

try{
String sql="SELECT concat(FirstName,' ',LastName) as NAME FROM userinfo";
pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);
rs = pst.executeQuery(sql);
jTable1.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));

}catch(SQLException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e.getMessage());
}

 

Run your program and the output should look like the image below.

There are many ways to join two or more string values to form a single string in Java. This tutorial use CONCAT function in MySQL query to perform that feature.

You can also use “+” sign to join two string variable in Java if you are working a program without database. If you have comments and suggestions regarding this tutorial, feel free to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this Java project work?

Built with Java Swing (NetBeans IDE) and MySQL backend via JDBC. Standard structure: JFrame designer to event handlers to DAO layer to MySQL. Login form for auth. Ready to extend for BSIT capstone scope.

What Java JDK and MySQL versions does this project require?

Most projects in this batch use Java JDK 8 or 11 with MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10+. To run: install JDK (Adoptium / Oracle), install MySQL Server + MySQL Workbench, install NetBeans IDE (15+ supports modern JDK), open the project (.zip extracted folder), right-click + Open Project, add MySQL JDBC driver to Project Libraries, run.

How do I set up the database for this Java project?

Open MySQL Workbench (or phpMyAdmin if you have XAMPP), create a new empty database with the name specified in the project. Import the included .sql file via Server, Data Import in Workbench (or Import tab in phpMyAdmin). Update the connection class (usually DBConnection.java or DatabaseConnection.java) with your MySQL host, port, username, password, and database name.

Can I use this Java project for a BSIT capstone or thesis?

Yes, Java is one of the most accepted languages by Philippine BSIT panels. Extend it: add role-based access (admin/staff/customer login redirect), JasperReports printable reports, dashboards with JFreeChart, audit log, multi-branch support. Pair with Chapter 1-5 documentation matching your panel’s rubric.

Why am I getting ‘ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver’ or ‘No suitable driver’?

Three common Java JDBC issues: (1) MySQL JDBC driver JAR not added to project Libraries. Right-click Project, Properties, Libraries, Add JAR/Folder, select mysql-connector-java-X.X.X.jar. (2) Wrong driver class name. Modern (8.0+) uses com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver, legacy (5.x) uses com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. (3) Connection URL missing serverTimezone parameter, add ?serverTimezone=UTC to the URL.

Where can I find more Java projects with source code?

Browse the Java Projects hub for the full library (120+ Java desktop systems). For modern Java web alternatives consider Spring Boot. For other desktop stacks see VB.NET Projects or C# Projects. For BSIT capstone idea lists see 150 Best Capstone Project Ideas.
