SQLite - ODBC - Concatenation

I am using the 32-bit ODBC driver from http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ with ADODB.
sqlite> select 'sun' || 'flower' as flower;
flower
---------
sunflower
When I use the concatenation operator || with an ODBC connection, it fails.
How do I concatenate strings when executing an SQL statement with an ODBC connection?
PS: I've tried + and & instead of || and I still have the failure.

Works for me.
It might be useful to be more specific than "it fails".

Thanks for confirming that it works.
The error I am getting is: syntax error near "'flower'
I re-tried my code in Excel VBA where it works.
I investigated further and the problem is with APL not being able to transmit the concatenation operator correctly to ADODB.
I do not see a 'wish-list' in this forum; I wonder if a future SQLite release might offer the CONCAT function.
