feature, because anythin, which is connected with NULL should be NULL. Do the following SELECT "surname"||', '||"forename" AS "name" FROM "table" for concatenate. You could concatenate more than two fields in this way. If one field is NULL all will be NULL. Now SELECT "surname"||IFNULL(', '||"forename",'') AS "name" FROM "table" will set '' for comma and forename if forename is NULL. Will only the surname will be shown, if forename is NULL.
