Method 1

Use CONCAT

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/string-functions.html#function_concat

SELECT CONCAT(1, 2);
-- "12"

SELECT CONCAT('foo', 'bar');
-- "foobar"

SELECT CONCAT(1, 'bar');
-- "1bar"

Method 2

if the arguments include any binary strings, the result is a binary string. A numeric argument is converted to its equivalent binary string form; if you want to avoid that, you can use an explicit type cast, as in this example:

SELECT CONCAT(CAST(int_col AS CHAR), char_col);

Method 3

For two columns concatenation
name: CHAR
and
no: int

PIG syntax is CONCAT(name,(CHARARRAY)no);
