What are you trying to accomplish? Your question is very vaque. If you are trying to concat 2 MS SQL fields, then you can just use...

 SELECT field1 + ' ' + field2

If the fields are not strings, then you will need to CAST or CONVERT them first.

 SELECT CAST(field1 AS varchar(20)) + ' ' + field2

if this isn't what you are looking for, please be more specific.

if you're trying to APPEND records from tableA to tableB, that's an INSERT INTO command.

Hi,
I m working on the project which was using MS Access but now i want to use SQL Server 2005.
But there are some queries which are not understood by me, so please help me in converting those.
Following is the query:

SHAPE {select stlcode , SampleTypeCode, InNo,NoOfSample s,RecdDistrict, RecdT al,DtRecd , RecdFrom, RecdNameDesg, PrimaryInNo, MicroInNo, WaterInNo from SInward order by SampleTypeCode, InNo } AS ParentCMD APPEND
({select SampleType, InNo, SrNo, StlCode, AStlCode, SampleTakenDt, FarmerNm, FarAddVil, FarAddPost, FarAddDist, FarAddTal , FarAddPin, SurveyGrNo, ReprArea, LastSeason, LastSeasonCrop, NextSeason, NextSeasonCrop, NextSeasonCrop2 2, AgeOfTree, LandProfile, DepthFrom, DepthTo, WaterSource, CollectdBy, SampleAccepted, LabSampleNo, HCNumber, MicroLabSampleN o, WaterLabSampleN o from SDetails order by SrNo } AS ChildCMD RELATE SampleTypeCode TO SampleType, InNo to InNo, stlcode to stlcode) AS ChildCMD

This query was previously written in MS Access and now I want it to be in SQL Server 2005, So please help me in solving this.
Thanx

Following is the query:

Did you try the query? SHAPE is a ADO command and should work with SQL Server. I never used it myself, but I found this on the SQL Forums that it does work. SQL Forums.

I go the exact syntax but still it is giving me Error:

SHAPE {SELECT [STLDATA].[dbo].[SInward].[StlCode] FROM [STLDATA].[dbo].[SInward]}
APPEND ({ SELECT [SampleType], [StlCode], [SrNo] FROM [STLDATA].[dbo].[SDetails] }
RELATE [SInward].[InNo] to [SDetails].[InNo])
AS Sample
