Ruby: Can I write multi-line string with no concatenation?

Question

Is there a way to make this look a little better?

conn.exec \'select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7 \' +
          \'from table1, table2, ta

Theres a difference in <<-TEXT and <<~TEXT, former retains the spacing inside block and latter doesn't.

There are other options as well. Like concatenation etc. but this one makes more sense in general.

If I am wrong here, let me know how...
