Merging VARCHAR2 fields
I need to take two fields in my CONTRACTS table, CONTRACT_NOTES and CONTRACT_DESCRIPTION, and combine them into the CONTRACT_DESCRIPTION field. Is there a simple solution to this issue?

Thanks!

How do the exact same thing, but the data is coming from
2 separate text boxes from an ASP form and inserting it as one string into a table field?

TY
