CONCAT'ing NULL fields

Question

I have a table with three fields, FirstName, LastName and Email.

Here\'s some dummy data:

FirstName | LastName | Email
Adam        West       adam@west.c         


        

Answer 1

In the case of MS Access

Option 1) SELECT (FirstName + " " + LastName + " " + Email) as Vitals FROM MEMBERS You will get blank result in the case of any field with null.

Option 2) SELECT (FirstName & " " & LastName & " " & Email) as Vitals FROM MEMBERS You will get Space in place of field with null.
