What is nvl function?

Answer Posted / raveendran

In Oracle/PLSQL, the NVL function lets you substitute a
value when a null value is encountered.

The syntax for the NVL function is:

NVL( string1, replace_with )

string1 is the string to test for a null value.

replace_with is the value returned if string1 is null.
