similar to concatenation but uses grouping
Adds extra characters such as spaces to the left side of string value , similar to RPAD functions
Compares two values to see if they match, if they match the functions returns null, if they don’t returns the first value
extension of NVL, allows us to handle null values, check a vlaue if it is null return something NVL has 2, NVL2 has 3 parameters
Great way tpo check multiple values are null or not
