Syntax:

UpdateXML(xml_target, xpath_expr, new_xml)

This function replaces a single portion of a given fragment of XML

markup xml_target with a new XML fragment new_xml, and then returns the
changed XML. The portion of xml_target that is replaced matches an
XPath expression xpath_expr supplied by the user. In MySQL 5.5, the
XPath expression can contain at most 127 characters. (This limitation
is lifted in MySQL 5.6.)

If no expression matching xpath_expr is found, or if multiple matches

are found, the function returns the original xml_target XML fragment.
All three arguments should be strings.

Syntax:
CONCAT(str1,str2,...)

Returns the string that results from concatenating the arguments. May
have one or more arguments. If all arguments are nonbinary strings, the
result is a nonbinary string. If the arguments include any binary
strings, the result is a binary string. A numeric argument is converted
to its equivalent string form. This is a nonbinary string as of MySQL
5.5.3. Before 5.5.3, it is a binary string; to avoid that and produce a
nonbinary string, you can use an explicit type cast, as in this
example:

SELECT CONCAT(CAST(int_col AS CHAR), char_col);

CONCAT() returns NULL if any argument is NULL.

SELECT is used to retrieve rows selected from one or more tables, and
can include UNION statements and subqueries. See [HELP UNION], and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/subqueries.html.
The most commonly used clauses of SELECT statements are these:

o Each select_expr indicates a column that you want to retrieve. There

must be at least one select_expr.

o table_references indicates the table or tables from which to retrieve

rows. Its syntax is described in [HELP JOIN].

o The WHERE clause, if given, indicates the condition or conditions

that rows must satisfy to be selected. where_condition is an
expression that evaluates to true for each row to be selected. The
statement selects all rows if there is no WHERE clause.

In the WHERE expression, you can use any of the functions and
operators that MySQL supports, except for aggregate (summary)
functions. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/expressions.html, and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/functions.html.

SELECT can also be used to retrieve rows computed without reference to

any table.
