I don\'t know concatenation operator for MySQL.
I have tried this code for concatenation:
SELECT vend_name || \' (\' || vend_country || \')\' FROM Ve
You were using ORACLE type of concatenation. MySQL's Should be
SELECT CONCAT(vend_name, '(', vend_country, ')')
Call the CONCAT() function and separate your values with commas.
CONCAT()
