Thank Thomas I knew that, but you example is very nice, I'm adding to my

FYI... SUM function (for that matter any aggregate function except COUNT, G=
ROUPING) ignore NULLs. Try this:
 
select sum(nvl(test,5)) from test
8
 
select nvl(sum(test),5) from test;
3
 
select nvl(sum(test),5) from test
where test is null;
5
 
select sum(n) from test;
3

Transcurrido: 00:00:00.00
SQL> select sum(nvl(test,0)) from test;
 
SUM(NVL(TEST,0))
