How to display full name combining first name and last name

Question

I need to display full name by combining first name+last name with space between first name and last name. I tried the following code.

declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql='select tblUsers.strFirstName'+ '+' +'tblUsers.strLastName as ''fullName'' from tblUsers'
exec(@sql)

But I am getting output as TonyIssac without space between two words. How can I achieve this?

Solution 1

Try:

SQL

-- Name with a space  
set @sql='select tblUsers.strFirstName'+ '+' +  ' ' +  '+' + 'tblUsers.strLastName as ''fullName'' from tblUsers'

OR

SQL

-- Name with a comma 
 
set @sql='select tblUsers.strFirstName'+ '+' +  ',' +  '+' + 'tblUsers.strLastName as ''fullName'' from tblUsers'
