Short Description
string join problem

Long Description
I have a major problem with string joining in sql query in Postgresql 7.1.3. It is always return null string if any of
columnhas null value.
 
I attached some example code sources to explain the problem.

Sample Code
CREATE TABLE phone
(
  phn_id                 INT                NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  phn_country            INT                NULL,
  phn_area               INT                NULL,
  phn_number             INT                NULL,
  phn_ext                INT                NULL
);
INSERT INTO phone VALUES( 30, 90, 216, 4921002, NULL );
SELECT '+'|| phn_country||'-'||phn_area||'-'||phn_number FROM phone WHERE phn_id=30;
    ?column?     
-----------------
 +90-216-4921002
(1 row)

SELECT '+'||phn_country||'-'||phn_area||'-'||phn_number||' ext:'||phn_ext FROM phone WHERE phn_id=30;
 ?column? 
----------
 
(1 row)
