Empty / NULL

          
decode(trim(col),NULL,NULL,col) is NULL

-- https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements005.htm 

-- Do not use null to represent a value of zero, because they are
--        not equivalent.

-- Note: Oracle Database currently treats a character value with 
--       a length of zero as null. 
-- However, this may not continue to be true in future releases, 
--       and Oracle recommends that 
-- you do not treat empty strings the same as nulls.
