PRESENTV
Syntax
Purpose
The PRESENTV function can be used only within the model_clause of the SELECT statement and then only on the right-hand side of a model rule. It returns expr1 when, prior to the execution of the model_clause, cell_reference exists. Otherwise it returns expr2.

-
model_clause and "Model Expressions" for the syntax and semantics
-
Appendix C in Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for the collation derivation rules, which define the collation assigned to the return value of
PRESENTVwhen it is a character value
Examples
In the following example, if a row containing sales for the Mouse Pad for the year 2000 exists, then the sales value for the Mouse Pad for the year 2001 is set to the sales value for the Mouse Pad for the year 2000. If the row does not exist, then a row is created with the sales value for the Mouse Pad for year 20001 set to 0.
