Solution (By Examveda Team)
This question is about how MySQL combines strings when the special setting PIPES_AS_CONCAT is turned off.Imagine you want to join two words together, "abc" and "xyz", to form a single word "abcxyz".
In MySQL, you can do this using the || symbol, which stands for concatenation. This symbol means "join together".
However, MySQL has an extra feature called PIPES_AS_CONCAT. When this feature is enabled, the || symbol acts like a normal OR operator.
In this case, the question says PIPES_AS_CONCAT is disabled. This means the || symbol is used for string combination (concatenation).
So, when you write 'abc' || 'xyz', MySQL will combine them, resulting in 'abcxyz'.
However, the question options don't include 'abcxyz'. This means the question is trying to trick you!
Since none of the options are correct, the answer is none of the above.
