    Oracle CONCAT

    Is there a way to concatenate ore than two strings together using an ORACLE CONCAT statement. I don't want to have to resort to the following:-

    Code:
    CONCAT(CONCAT('A','B'),'C')
    ....as I've got four rows from a table that I need to concat together....
    Is there another way? I am unable to use a function as the DB techincaly belongs to another company and we're not allowed to add/alter the schema.

    Basically, the table I'm interested in contains addresses, the columns are ADDRESS1,ADDRESS2,ADDRESS3,ADDRESS4 and POSTCODE. I want to concat these using commas to separate them.

    TIA

    Re: Oracle CONCAT

    use the double pipe :
    Code:
    table.field || table.field2 || table.field3
    I though concat used more that two parts?
    Code:
    concat(table.field,table.field2,table.field3)
    Might be wrong on that.

    Post up if neither work

    Re: Oracle CONCAT

    I just spent a little time in my SQL Server book, and couldn't find CONCAT

    Is that Oracle specific?

    If so, is there an SQL Server equivalent?
