All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class ConcatExpression
extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

The CONCAT function returns a string that is a concatenation of its arguments.

JPA 1.0:

BNF: expression ::= CONCAT(string_primary, string_primary)

JPA 2.0:

BNF: expression ::= CONCAT(string_primary, string_primary {, string_primary}*)

JPA 2.1:

BNF: expression ::= CONCAT(string_expression, string_expression {, string_expression}*)

Example: SELECT c.firstName FROM Customer c HAVING c.firstName = CONCAT(:fname, :lname)

Since:

2.3
