Subject Concatenating varchar2 fields
Author Lourenço de Paula
Hi

I'm trying to concat three string fields, see:

SITUATION 1:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
CONTENT1 CONTENT2 CONTENT3

Than I execute the select:

select FIELD1 || ' ' || FIELD2 || ' ' || FIELD3 from MYTABLE

and it returns "CONTENT1 CONTENT2 CONTENT3", but when one of the three fields is null the result is NULL, see:

SITUATION 2:
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
------ ------ ------
CONTENT1 CONTENT2 NULL

Than I execute the same select command:

select FIELD1 || ' ' || FIELD2 || ' ' || FIELD3 from MYTABLE

and it returns NULL instead of "CONTENT1 CONTENT2 ".

What I need to do to get this result??

Any help will be usefull


Thanks
