I have a select statement that selects two string (text) fields.  In some
cases, the first of them may be NULL.  In this case, I would like the second
field to be selected instead.  It is also possible that in rare cases that
the second string may be NULL, in which case it should just return NULL.

Ex:
I have a table similar to:
Key   |   str1   |   str2
0     |  "str1"  |  "anotherstr"
1     |   NULL   |  "string"
2     |   NULL   |   NULL


I would like the select statement to return:
Key   |   Str
0     |   "str1"
1     |   "string"
2     |   NULL

How possible is this?
