|I vaguely remember this has been asked and answered before, but can not
| find the answer anymore:
| Suppose I have a table in which a column has a value for some rows, and
| none (null) for others. Is there a way to let a select statement (which
| returns values from the current row) return the last non null value for
| this column? So, in pseudo code:
|
| select
| col1,
| col2,
| "last-non-null value for col3"
| from a_table
| order by col1?
|
|
| Thanks in advance,
|

What about LAST_VALUE function?
