Hi ALL,
I need little help to understand, text concatenation.
concat function and operator || have different behaviour, if any input is NULL.
test=# select 'abc' || NULL;
?column?
----------
(1 row)
test=# select concat('abc', NULL);
concat
--------
abc
(1 row)
It has simple reason, concat operator || use textcat() function which is STRICT.
my question is
1. Do we required textcat to be STRICT, why?
2. textcat() is used for concat operator ||, can't it possible using concat() function?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amul Sul
