The way it works is, it accepts two arguments. If the first argument is NaN (not a number), it returns the second argument. If the first argument is a number, then it simply returns that number.
Note that this function is useful only for floating-point numbers of type BINARY_FLOAT or BINARY_DOUBLE.
In Oracle, the SQRT() function returns the square root of its argument.
