NVL2 Function we can pass three parameters if first parameter is not null it returns second parameter. if first parameter is null it return third parameter

Syntax:  NVL2 (String1, expr2 , expr3)

Ex:

  1. Hello There,

    Your blog is such a complete read. I like your approach with Oracle Apps Tutorials . Clearly, you wrote it to make learning a cake walk for me.

    I have two tables A and B. Where A is a parent table and B is a child table.
    I need all the records from table A that is not present in table B.

    I would like to know the best way in terms of performance to achieve this. (I have millions of records in the tables).

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

    Thank you,
    Preethi

  2. Hi There,

    In debt to you for making my learning on the SQL-NVL2 area so hassle-free! I lay my faith on your writings.
    I am facing one ora-error while executing the procedure.
    ORA-06512: at "Lax.CLOSE_DUP"
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

    i am suspecting it could be length issue with some of variables i have declared inside procedure
    l_effectreqcount number;----> This is tracking no of records being fetched.
    l_postdata varchar2(999); ---> This is the variable for which i believe the error has come.
    The reason is that in this variable l_postdata I am concatenating all the data being fetched from cursor.it is something like this.

    THANK YOU!! This saved my butt today, I’m immensely grateful.

    Cheers,
    Preethi
