This is the only solution that would work for me  when I required a space in between the columns being merged   select concat concat column1       column2

My guess is that you are using MySQL where the   operator does addition  along with silent conversion of the values to numbers   If a value does not start with a digit  then the converted value is 0   So try this   select concat column1  column2    Two ways to add a space   select concat column1       column2  select concat ws      column1  column2

I have used this way and Its a best forever  In this code null also handled   SELECT Title  FirstName  lastName   ISNULL Title             ISNULL FirstName             ISNULL LastName     as FullName  FROM Customer   Try this

For the MySQL fans out there  I like the IFNULL   function   Other answers here suggest similar functionality with the ISNULL   function in some implementations   In my situation  I have a column of descriptions which is NOT NULL  and a column of serial numbers which may be NULL This is how I combined them into one column   SELECT CONCAT description IFNULL   SN     serial number       FROM my table    My results suggest that the results of concatenating a string with NULL results in a NULL   I have been getting the alternative value in those cases
