I appreciated everyone's response to this, but the majority of responses have been to just wrap a nvl around everything. That is ok, but when you are comparing around 50 or more columns that is a lot of typing and as a programmer I look for ways to cut down on typing as much as possible. I just think that NOTHING should be equal to NOTHING. I have heard that other databases do this and was really just sounding off hoping Oracle would do the same. Oh well, can't have everything I guess. Thanks for listening.
