Hi Afan,
You can use concat_ws

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_concat-ws
---
CONCAT() returns NULL if any argument is NULL.
CONCAT_WS() does not skip empty strings. However, it does skip any
NULL values after the separator argument

hi,

 I have query
 SELECT CONCAT(r.first_name, ' ', r.last_name, '\n', r.organization, '\n',
r.title, '\n', a.address1, '\n', a.city, ', ', a.state, ' ', a.zip, '\n',
r.email)
 FROM registrants r, addresses a
 WHERE r.reg_id=121

 if any of columns has value (e.g. title) NULL, I'll get as result 0
records.
 If query doesn't have concat() - it works fine.

 Why is that?
