Answer a question

I have a postgres table which has 2 columns

username and email I have hundreds of rows in the table such as

username | email
username1 | test@abc.com
username2 | test@abc.com
username3 | test@abc.com
username4 | test@abc.com

The way this was setup all emails are the same, and now I need to make them unique. I am trying to update the email column to be like this

username | email
username1 | username1_test@abc.com
username2 | username2_test@abc.com
username3 | username3_test@abc.com
username4 | username4_test@abc.com

basically copy over the value from the username column and add it to the email column. I tried using the coalesce function but that will replace the value completely and not update it.

Please can you help me understand how to achieve this.

Thanks

An update with basic concatenation should work here:

UPDATE yourTable
SET email = username || '_' || email;
