SQL-NVL

This will substitutes the specified value in the place of null values.

     Syntax: nvl (null_col, replacement_value) 

     Ex:
          SQL> select * from student;            -- here for 3rd row marks value is null

                         NO NAME      MARKS
                           --- -------      ---------
                          1        a         100
                          2        b          200
                          3        c

SQL> select no, name, nvl(marks,300) from student; 

                        NO NAME  NVL(MARKS,300)
                         ---  -------  ---------------------
                          1           a             100
                          2           b             200
                          3           c             300

SQL> select nvl(1,2), nvl(2,3), nvl(4,3), nvl(5,4) from dual;

                NVL(1,2)   NVL(2,3)   NVL(4,3)   NVL(5,4)
               ----------    ----------    ----------         ----------
                      1               2                    4                   5

SQL> select nvl(0,0), nvl(1,1), nvl(null,null), nvl(4,4) from dual;

            NVL(0,0)   NVL(1,1) NVL(null,null)  NVL(4,4)
             ----------    ---------- -----------------       ----------

                      0              1                                             4

  1. NayHoh,


    Muchas Gracias Mi Amigo! You make learning so effortless. Anyone can follow you and I would not mind following you to the moon coz I know you are like my north star.

    I changed following configuration file and restart the server .
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS13.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
    Services\ReportServer\bin\ReportingServicesService.exe.cofig
    Add following line

    After restart , log generated ReportServerService__04_16_2018_13_58_15.log
    But I saw there is an error as follows

    Seems like I won the lottery here….This is a treasure box of blogs and your folks are like leprechauns! Phenomenal read on #topic!

    I'd like to be able to log all constraint errors when users are running an application having Oracle as the back-end. That means inserting a record into an Errors Log table in Oracle.

    Is that even possible? In an exception clause, I could do that; however, when a constraint fails, I don't know where I'd be able to run such code to do the insert.

    Is this even possible?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Appreciate your effort for making such useful blogs and helping the community.

    Merci

  3. Hey,

    I learnt so much in such little time about SQL-NVL. Even a toddler could become smart reading of your amazing articles.
    I have requirement like

    select COL1,Col2 from A
    minus
    Select COL1,COL2 from B;

    both tables have 50+ millions record so I want to automate a job which will execute this query for 1millions records for one time and then again 1 millions for second time...like loop and store output in record type.

    But nice Article Mate! Great Information! Keep up the good work!

    Kind Regards,
    Radhey
