SQLite equivalent to ISNULL(), NVL(), IFNULL() or COALESCE()

Question

I\'d like to avoid having many checks like the following in my code:

myObj.someStringField = rdr.IsDBNull(someOrdinal) 
                            ? string.

If there is not ISNULL() method, you can use this expression instead:

CASE WHEN fieldname IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE fieldname END

This works the same as ISNULL(fieldname, 0).
