Hello Robert,
coalesce would be:
"coalesce" "(" <var> ( "," <var> )* [ "," <expr> ] ")"
and would also require heay engine patching. I am speaking of a
really major change here, i already looked into what it would
need month's ago. Since the operator i proposed is different from
the coalesce functionality many sql developers know i see that as
a definitive no. But again if you give the engine a try :-)
