What is a nvl function? How can it be used?..

Answer / Pradeep Dwivedi

NVL is a built-in Oracle function that replaces NULL values with specified replacement values. It takes two arguments: the first is the expression that may return a NULL value, and the second is the replacement value. For example, NVL(column_name, default_value) would replace any NULL values in column_name with default_value.
