Hello
 
I have this concat: 
CONCAT(f.nrfo, '/', TO_CHAR(fd1.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), f2.nrfo, TO_CHAR(fd7.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), DATE(fd5.validto)-DATE(fd1.validfrom))
that works fine but when I change to this(I added a ' with '):
ARRAY_AGG(CONCAT(f.nrfo, '/', TO_CHAR(fd1.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), ' with ', f2.nrfo, TO_CHAR(fd7.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), DATE(fd5.validto)-DATE(fd1.validfrom))) AS temp,
then concat returns NULL.
Why? I tried to add ' with '::VARCHAR and ' with '::TEXT but the result is still NULL.
 
Thank you
 
This is part of a bigger query that I wrote down.
SELECT d1.id AS id, d1.name AS name, COUNT(DISTINCT(f2.id)) AS nr_spitalizari,
ARRAY_AGG(CONCAT(f.nrfo, '/', TO_CHAR(fd1.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), ' cu ', f2.nrfo, '/', TO_CHAR(fd7.validfrom, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), ' diferenta de ', DATE(fd5.validto)-DATE(fd1.validfrom), ' zile ')) AS fise
