To concatenate two (or more) things together you are basically going to glue them to each other. You've heard the word before but you never knew what it meant. So it is here that we put these functions to work for you and explain where you get their power by combining them together with one another. In yet another situation you may want to be able to do some text comparisons to see if the data in the record matches the data that you want to see. Then there is that case where you want to include quotes into the result of a calculation and later you may want to get into even more complex text manipulation like being able to pull values out of a list.
If you want to make your database more simple and just have one field display the full name of a person then you need to know how to do that. If you have a database of email addresses and you want to find out how many come from then you need to be able to parse that information out. Extracting data and recomposing it is what data manipulation is all about. Without the ability to manipulate text we would all be at a loss. With just reason, it is the text functions that are my most favorite. A beginner's guide to basic text manipulation.
