NVL2 Function in Oracle

In Oracle, the NVL2 function extends the functionality found in the NVL function. It can be used to substitute a value when a null value is encountered as well as when a non-null value is encountered.

The syntax for the NVL2 function is:

    NVL2( string1, value_if_NOT_null, value_if_null )
string1 is the string to test for a null value.
value_if_NOT_null is the value returned if string1 is not null.
value_if_null is the value returned if string1 is null.
