You concatenate two columns in the WHERE clause the same way you do so in the 
SELECT clause:

        ...

        where A.Lastname || A.Firstname = B.Lastname-Firstname

        ...

I'm not sure if I have the column names exactly correct, but you should get the 
idea.

Note that this expression in the WHERE clause will likely preclude the use of 
indexes on either of the columns in table A, unless you use function-based 
indexes.

        Table A:

        Lastname (Mike)

        Firstname (Johnson)

        Phone(323-442-5678)

         

        Table B:

        Lastname-Firstname(MikeJohnson)

        StreetAddress(1242 Main St.)

        Zip(76222)

         

        How do I join these two tables?

         

        select B.Lastname-Firstname,A.Phone,B.StreetAddress,B.Zip

        from A,B

        where B.Lastname-Firstname = A.Lastname + A.Firstname

         

        Basically, how to concatenate two fields in the where clause?

         

        Thanks,

         

        Roger
