    Question

    I want to use the DECODE function to

    display the column value if it is not null, and if the column value is null then I want to print a string:

    select empno, empname, decode(empphone, from emp;

    HOW DO I DO THIS ?

    Thanks.

    select empno, empname, decode(empphone, null, 'Phone Is NULL', empphone) from emp ;

    Thumbs up

    Thanks Pinakin,

    I just figured out that I can also use NVL to do the same thing.
