Concatenate in MSSQL

Hello.

I 'm working on a project which has developed a huge program. Some
customers use DB2 as database, and others oracle.
So far so good and everything works ok.

Now there's a demand on using SQL server. We have found two major problems.

1) Trim()
There's no trim in MSSQL. Even if we create a trim() function to user
ltrim(), rtrim() as far as I have searched one must call dbo.trim(field)
instead of trim(field)

2)Concatenation
Oracle and DB2 works with the ANSI operator ||. Apparently SQL server
doesn't :-( Is there a way to force the MSSQL to be ANSI compatible?

As you can imagine sql statements are used all over the application and
we are talking about hundred of sql statements. I 'm sure other people
have had the same problem. Is there a workaround?

Thanks
