CONCAT

A string function that is the explicit function counterpart to the concatenation operator ("||"). CONCAT() returns the character string produced by concatenating the first argument with the second argument. An error is generated if either of the input arguments does not evaluate to a character string. The maximum size of the result string is 4056 characters.
