Report setup question.

[snowcold]

In the past, I asked how to use a BLOB as a formula and found out that you can use a BLOB in a formula with the isNull function to determine if the BLOB was null and if so, print an "N/A".

My question is:
Since I can actually do this calculation on the database with a nvl() function, should I?

Is that a better practice?

thanks

Yes, the database should always be leveraged as it will prove more efficient.

Unless your database is horribly slow...
