I wonder if there is any way to APPEND data to an already populated field using a SQL query. I'm presently handeling it through PHP by writing two queries.

I suppose it would go like this:

UPDATE table SET field1=CONCAT(field1,' this will be appended to the end of field1') WHERE id=12345;

I always forget the CONCAT and try to do it with a simple ampersand and wonder why all my data disappears!
