Great help this will be. I have to try this out. Just a question though. Might not be a very intelligent one.

What if it is

select Concat(LastName , ‘ ‘, Firstname) as Name from Sometable

Where LAstName is null and Firstname is Romi

Will it return Romi with a leading space as Name?

Hi Pinal, Please can we have a post that lists all the new features in Denali… what we have here is fabulous, but its very difficult to remember. Some cheat sheet / quick glance would help .

Hope i am not asking for much.

Nice article. I did notice that in the Example 2 section you have accidentally mentioned the CHOOSE() function and talk about how you can use that to find if a day is weekday or weekend…. followed by the example of CONCAT().

You may want to erase the CHOOSE() part…

Thanks,
Aashish

Hi Pinal, I am looking for some good book / site for designing SSIS. I have fair understanding of SSIS. Something that can go discuss in detail the pros and cons of embedding SQL in SSIs vs SSIS call stored proc and some parallalism on SQL Server / SSIS. Recently we found that if Biztalk is installed in the same instance of ur application database , it will change the maxtop to 1 and have significant impact on application performance. Shed some light on this topic guru.

And above all, have a nice weekend :)

Yes that is correct

I like this alot. Excellent post and just the sort of thing I need to know about Denali.

One question though please…

Is there a maximum size to the output – I assume if the string size goes high enough it just returns a nvarchar(max) – Is this correct?

Yeah, nice one. I would recommend programmers to spend some time on this and start using CONCAT() more ;>) and I too would like to keep this in mind for usage…..

Really nice one. Thanks. Cool thing is – we can use as concatenate between 2 and 254 values in a single go.
