The NULLIF function returns a null value if the arguments are equal, otherwise it
returns the value of the first argument.
The result of using NULLIF(e1,e2) is the same as using the expression
CASE WHEN e1=e2 THEN NULL ELSE e1 END version: $Revision: 1.5 $ $Date: 2005/12/20 18:32:28 $ author: Ahimanikya Satapathy
