    P.S. The 3 operand COALESCE will work fine if you want to return a NULL if both names are NULL. If, however, you want it to return an empty string if both names are NULL, just add '' as the 4th operand.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
