All Implemented Interfaces:
ListHolderStateObject<StateObject>, StateObject

public class CoalesceExpressionStateObject
extends AbstractEncapsulatedExpressionStateObject
implements ListHolderStateObject<StateObject>

A COALESCE expression returns null if all its arguments evaluate to null, and the value of the first non-null argument otherwise.

The return type is the type returned by the arguments if they are all of the same type, otherwise it is undetermined.
