Combining cities and states using +

In this lesson, you learned how to combine columns into one.

The clients table has one column, city, to store the cities where the clients live, and another column, state, to store the state of the city.

| client_id | client_name | client_surname | city      | state    |
|-----------|-------------|----------------|-----------|----------|
| 1         | Miriam      | Antona         | Las Vegas | Nevada   |
| 2         | Astrid      | Harper         | Chicago   | Illinois |
| 3         | David       | Madden         | Phoenix   | Arizona  |
| ...       | ...         | ...            | ...       | ...      |
