wt is the diff b/w greast and max ,least and min? wt is the diff b/w case and decod?..

Answer / jyothi

greatest gives largest value from the list of values passed
where as max gives maximum value in that column.similarly
least and min too.
decode performs only equality conditions and it doesn't work
in plsql.process null.
case compares all the cases.null cannot processed. case
performs all the actions of decode and it works in pl/sql.
