Nulls are special in Oracle SQL – we can’t directly compare them since they won’t equal anything including themselves.
Use Oracles NVL() function to compare fields that may contain Null values

Format Numbers in Insights Dashboards
The Insights default number format can clutter charts with excessive precision.
What if you want just to show one, or maybe no decimals in your chart?
Are you missing data in your Insights Dashboards?
Insights (Kibana) Dashboards provide valuable information to your users … but it only works if ALL the data you think you are sending to Insights has actually arrived …and has been indexed.
PSQuery Date Math
PSQuery is a great tool for PeopleSoft ad hoc reporting. But it does have a challenge when it comes to working with Dates.
Use MetaSQL to manipulate dates in PSQuery
Creating Materialized Views in PeopleTools
Use Materialized Views to improve poor performance of complex SQL Views
PSQuery Record Security
… questions about which roles and permission lists have access to a specific record can be a trip down the multiple rabbit holes.
