That is not true. Marketing hyperbole but not true. If you think
otherwise than I would like to see a screenshot of the part of the
GUI that provides the functionality to do this:

CREATE TABLE fpd (
dec_num    NUMBER(10,2),
bin_double BINARY_DOUBLE,
bin_float  BINARY_FLOAT);

INSERT INTO fpd VALUES (0, 'NaN', 'NaN');
COMMIT;

SELECT * FROM fpd;

SELECT bin_double, NANVL(bin_double, 0)
FROM fpd;

Show me the GUI making available NANVL.
