Subject: SQL: Creating a CSV in a select


A while ago Marian Dumitrascu posted the following code to create a csv file
which is very nice and clean:

<CFQUERY NAME="GetDocs"...>
        SELECT
        '"' + RTRIM(CATEGORY) + '"' + ',' +
        '"' + RTRIM(newc2) + '"' + ',' +
        ...
        '"' + RTRIM(C_Alias) + '"'
        AS line
        FROM table
</CFQUERY>
<!--- create the file content ---->
<CFSET filecontent = ValueList(GetDocs.line,"#CHR(13)##CHR(10)#")>
<!--- and save it --->
<cffile action="APPEND" file="#csvfile#" output="#filecontent#">

My problem comes in trying to do the select statement, I am finding that it
will not populate that "line" field if any of the fields used to build it
are null.  Is there a way to get around this in the select statement.
Having to loop through a query takes far too much time with 7000 records,
where ValueList() is much quicker.

TIA for any help.
