Combining multiple columns into one column.

Combing multiple columns like [LastName],[FirstName] and
[MiddleName]into one column named as [Name] is very simple in Access,
but how will i do that in SQL? Any suggestions? PLease?
Thanks in advance,
Geri

Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!You have to add another column, update with existing data,
and then drop existing columns.

You might want to wrap them in IsNull so that a NULL in one of the columns
doesn't NULL out the entire result:
Select IsNull(FirstName, '') + ' ' + IsNull(MiddleName, '') + ' ' +
IsNull(LastName, '') As FullName from MyTable
