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

NULL concat with a value returns NULL. You can avoid that using
COALESCE(value, ''), that returns the value, or, if the value NULL, ''.


http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/functions-string.html
"
concat(str "any" [, str "any" [, ...] ]) text Concatenate the text representations of all the arguments. NULL arguments are ignored.
