Just in case you're looking for it:

http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/sql_elements005.htm#SQLRF30037

Note:
Oracle Database currently treats a character value with a length of zero as
null. However, this may not continue to be true in future releases, and
Oracle recommends that you do not treat empty strings the same as nulls.
