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

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.)
