+- A cross-database implementation of `any_value()` ([#497](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils/issues/497), [#501](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils/pull/501))

 We generally recommend testing this uniqueness condition by either:
 * generating a [surrogate_key](#surrogate_key-source) for your model and testing
 the uniqueness of said key, OR
-* passing the `unique` test a coalesce of the columns (as discussed [here](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/building-a-dbt-project/testing-and-documentation/testing/#testing-expressions)).
+* passing the `unique` test a concatenation of the columns (as discussed [here](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/building-a-dbt-project/testing-and-documentation/testing/#testing-expressions)).
 
 However, these approaches can become non-perfomant on large data sets, in which
 case we recommend using this test instead.
