The NULLIF function takes two arguments. If the two
arguments are equal, then NULL is returned. Otherwise, the
first argument is returned.

Answer / avi007
In Oracle/PLSQL, the NULLIF function compares expr1 and
expr2. If expr1 and expr2 are equal, the NULLIF function
returns NULL. Otherwise, it returns expr1.
The syntax for the NULLIF function is:
NULLIF( expr1, expr2 )
expr1 and expr2 must be either numeric values or values
that are of the same datatype.
For example:
NULLIF(12, 12) would return NULL
NULLIF(12, 13) would return 12
NULLIF('apples', 'apples') would return NULL
NULLIF('apples', 'oranges') would return 'apples'
NULLIF(NULL, 12) would return an ORA-00932 error because
expr1 can not be the literal NULL
