coalesce
is supported in both Oracle and SQL Server and serves essentially the same function as nvl
and isnull
. (There are some important differences, coalesce
can take an arbitrary number of arguments, and returns the first non-null one. The return type for isnull
matches the type of the first argument, that is not true for coalesce
, at least on SQL Server.)
