Is there a way using built-in PostgreSQL functions to combine two data fields into a single field at runtime when querying data?

For example, the query now returns:

id    first    last
---   -------  ----------
1     Goerge   Handin
2     Joe      Rachin

I'd like it to return:

id    name
---   -------------------
1     George Handin
2     Joe Rachin

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
if you want the 2 fields with a space between them

select first ||' '||last as name from foo;

should do it.
