I am not sure exactly how I am to work in the coalesce function to get the result, I tried some experiments and I could get the first and or second fields in another column, but not as part of the bracketed group.
This is the argument as it stands now, (without the coalesce function) how should I introduce the coalesce function to get the desired result? SELECT '( ' ||(select English1)|| ', ' ||(select english2)|| ', ' ||(select english3 )|| ' )' AS English FROM UniqueAramaic4; I apologise if this sounds like a silly question, but I am new to SQL and am trying to get syntax, order and function use straight in my head.
