Create table, concatenate data

I am trying to concatenate four fields from one table: org.address1,
org.city, org.state, org.zip with at least four fields from another table:
url.http_start, url.plus_sign, url.tail and url.http_end in a trigger that
would fire whenever a new record was created. The end stored result would b
e
an address used for Yahoo maps and would look like this:
http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Py...Get+Map=Get+Map
The data in the url table would have this data in it and really should just
be one row used over and over again.
url.http_start = http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=
url.plus_sign = +
url.http_tail = &csz=
url.http_end = &Get+Map=Get+Map
I've come at this from a few different angles but I'm afraid my skills are
not up to what I am looking for; I would appreciate anyone's input.I dont't unserstand the "plus_sign" thing, but I think you want something
like this. Since the tables are not related, you cannot really join on them
and you most likely want to store the "http" values in local variables:
DECLARE @.start varchar (100)
DECLARE @.plus char(1)
DECLARE @.tail varchar(100)
DECLARE @.end varchar(100)
SELECT @.start = http_start, @.plus = plus_sign, @.tail = http_tail, @.end =
http_end
FROM HTTP_TABLE
SELECT@.start + org.address1 + @.tail + org.city + @.plus + org.state + @.plus +
@.plus + org.zip + @.end
FROM ORG_TABLE org
Like I said, not sure what you wer going for with the "plus_sign" column,
but it looks like that might get you going on it

concatenate being seen as something other than just what it is, a plus sign.
So I figured I would just store the actual plus sign in the plus_sign field
to use in the final concatenation. Thanks for your help. Steve
