Difference between NVL, NVL2 and NULLIF
Answer / sushma s
NVL function substitute a value when a null value is
encountered.
NVL2: substitutes a value when a null value is encountered
as well as when a non-null value is encountered.
The syntax for the NVL2 function is:
NVL2( string1, value_if_NOT_null, value_if_null )
string1 is the string to test for a null value.
value_if_NOT_null is the value returned if string1 is not null.
value_if_null is the value returned if string1 is null.
NULLIF: NULLIF function compares expr1 and expr2. If expr1
and expr2 are equal, the NULLIF function returns NULL.
Otherwise, it returns expr1.
