function BasicSyntaxTest::testConcatFields
Tests string concatenation with field values.
We use 'job' and 'age' fields from the {test} table. Using the 'name' field for concatenation causes issues with custom or contrib database drivers, since its type 'varchar_ascii' may lead to using field-level collations not compatible with the other fields.
