What is the Oracle equivalent of SQL Server's IsNull() function?

Question

In SQL Server we can type IsNull() to determine if a field is null. Is there an equivalent function in PL/SQL?

Answer 1

Instead of ISNULL(), use NVL().

T-SQL:

SELECT ISNULL(SomeNullableField, 'If null, this value') FROM SomeTable

PL/SQL:

SELECT NVL(SomeNullableField, 'If null, this value') FROM SomeTable
