ORACLE SQL HELP REQ'D - DISPLAY NULL VALUES AS TEXT FOR ALL COLUMNS
 

I want to display all NULL values on each column within the table as text 'NULL' instead of being blank. How can I do this, tried case statement but must be easier way...

Cheers

. . . would do it, but you'd need to specify each column in the select statement.

Cheers - done that but forgot the quotes on null - doh! been writing this stuff to long today - need to get home!

I start to glaze over after a few hours :D
