While '||' is the standard, unfortunately MSSQL uses '+' for string concatentation so people that are used to using '+' are most likely coming from MSSQL and thus using '||' does not make for portable SQL (MSSQL does not support '||', at least not in version 2005).
In my applications I have a custom Concat() function to do string concatenation and then write an implementation of this in both SQLite and MSSQL so the same SQL can be run on both databases.
