Question
Adding Null and Blank fields
Sybase developer here, Looking for the oracle syntax (sql)
that will retrieve a zero when two null or empty numeric fields are selected and added.
I have created a View that returns a blank column when
adding two database fields. Some records have fields
containing numbers, blanks, and nulls. How do I add them,
and return a zero as the default when no numbers are present, and return a number when possible?
