String concat across multiple source code lines

[Mike Fletcher]

How about:

sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE "\
"WHERE TABLE.COL = VAR "\
"GROUP BY COL2"

or 

sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE \
WHERE TABLE.COL = VAR \
GROUP BY COL2"

HTH,
Mike

Is there a better way to do the following?:

sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE"
sql = sql + "WHERE TABLE.COL = VAR"
sql = sql + "GROUP BY COL2"

I would prefer a 'cleaner' way of concatinating a single string across
multiple program code lines. When using a triple quote, any indentation
in the code gets included.
