I have this query in Access with a condition and would like to know how I can put the same condition part in Oracle 9i SQL?

SELECT 
b.FirstName, 
b.LastName, 
IIF( ISNULL(d.NOTES)=True,'Not Available',d.NOTES) AS NOTES
FROM 
...

How would this part(IIF( ISNULL(d.NOTES)=True,'Not Available',d.NOTES) AS NOTES) be done in an Oracle SQL?

The DECODE is not necessary to reproduce the results

NVL(d.Notes, 'Not Available')
