In oracle two other functions which could be used are NVL and DECODE.
at the same time CASE is more portable, but DECODE is very powerful

Hi,
This is how I might do it in SQL Server:
SELECT
SUM(CASE WHEN deliverymethod = 'F' THEN
1
ELSE
0
END) AS FAXES,
SUM(CASE WHEN deliverymethod = 'E' THEN
1
ELSE
0
END) AS EMAILS
That did the trick, thanks Scott.I was trying to make it too
complicated for myself.
Case was the answer.
