CONCAT stand for concat two string or field in the MySql.


select concat('David','Jason')


Result will be

DavidJason


CONCAT_WS do same , concating two string or field but you can pass on "Separator" to join with. its like "implode"
Syntax :: CONCAT_WS ("Separator",'String/Field',,,)
Example

select concat(",",'David','Jason')

it will join two string with seprator ","
so result will be

David,Jason

MySQL CONCAT function , concat two or more string into single String.
when MySQL CONCAT_WS function , concat two or more string with separator.

CONCAT

SELECT concat( ",", 'i', 'am', 'coder' ) 


result ::
,iamcoder

CONCAT_WS

SELECT concat_ws( ",", 'i', 'am', 'coder' )
