First disclaimer:  The database structure comes from a VERY well known 
document/imaging company - I didn't make the mess, I'm just trying to work 
with it. :)

I have a table that contains two fields with the same type of data 
(Reference Number), but one was used for older documents, and one was used 
for newer documents.  I want to sort on and display the two fields as one 
(only one will be populated for any given record).  I talked to my local 
Oracle guru here at work and he's given me a syntax like so:

SELECT Col1 || Col2 aliasname FROM ELEMENT ORDER BY aliasname

It seems perfect, however I'm using a SQL Server, and it's not having any 
part of that syntax.  Does anyone know of a similar way to accomplish this 
task in SQL Server 2000?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jesse
