Excuse me? How would you translate this sentence (sentence?) to English? Should there be a capital letter there? Full stop? Question mark? Comma? I must admit: I read this line over and over again, and I have no idea what you are talking about.

But I understood this:

I hope you are aware of the fact that blanks <> NULL. So what are you, actually, doing here? Displaying NULLs or blanks (blanks = string!)? NVL function won't do much good on blanks.

To help me (us) better understand your problem, it would be fine if you could create a sample test case (including CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements) and, of course, query you used to retrieve the result.
