2 & 15
----------
2

Example : SELECT 2 | 5;

Output :

2 | 5
-------
7

MySQL BIT_XOR() function

MySQL BIT_XOR() function returns the bitwise XOR of all bits in a given expression. The calculation is performed on 64 bit precession.

Example : SELECT 2 ^ 15;

Output :

2 ^ 15

MySQL COUNT() function

MySQL COUNT() function returns a count of number of non-NULL values of a given expression. If it does not find any matching row, it returns 0.

Syntax : COUNT(expr);

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NULL                   0                                       0
English                4                                       1
Hindi                  1                                       1

MySQL GROUP_CONCAT() function

MySQL GROUP_CONCAT() function returns a string with concatenated non- NULL value from a group. Returns NULL when there are no non-NULL values.

Syntax : GROUP_CONCAT(expr);

Example : SELECT pub_lang,GROUP_CONCAT(book_id) FROM invoice GROUP BY pub_lang;

Output :

 pub_lang                    GROUP_CONCAT(book_id)
