COALESCE(Account_Oracle,Child) as Mappingbut then Child must be reliable not null.orISNULL(Account_Oracle,Child) as Mapping
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| Hi,Thanks for your reply. ISNULL worked fine. Now for all the NULL that i get in the mapping column i want to add a text 'delete' instead of NULL. Is there a way to do it?Thanks' |
