Hello,

I had a pervious topic, but felt it may be necessary to post as a separate topic.

If there are plus signs within a query, what are their purpose?

For instance...

WHERE ','+REPLACE(@TC,' ','')+',' LIKE '%,'+TransCode+',%'

What is it that the + are doing in this query? I understand they're needed, but for what reason?

Thanks!!

They concatenate (combine) strings:
SELECT 'A', 'B', 'AB', 'A' + 'B'
SQL Server uses + to concatenate strings; Oracle, DB2, and the ISO standard use || to concatenate.
