Subject Coalesce Help
Author Muthu Annamalai
Need help in my Stored Procedure which is as follows

SELECT COALESCE(OPENINGBALANCE,0), COALESCE(CASHIN,0),
COALESCE(CASHOUT,0), COALESCE(CLOSINGBALANCE,0)
FROM CASHACTIVITY
WHERE CASHACTIVITY.TODAY =:SALESDAY
INTO :OPENINGBALANCE,:CASHIN,:CASHOUT,:CLOSINGBALANCE;

In CashActivity Table, if there is no record for given salesday then
my SP is returning nulls, which I expect to return zero's.
I could easily handle this situation using if null construct, the
problem is ( recently ) after learning about COALESCE i changed many
of my SP's and now I am scared whether I am using coalesce in right
sense.

All my null values are handles at FB itself, not a single one in
client side.

Any help is highly appreciated,

Regards,

Muthu
