Re: What does a || do?
|| is the concat command in Oracle and a few other languages, is the code your looking at MySQL or some other language, in MySQL it's used to represent a logical OR.
This code may have been taken from an Oracle system and used against mysql. It won't fail but it won't actually do anything.
If the intention is to add the A or X to the end of the type column then
concat(view_Subcategories.type,'X')
should be used.
