Counting null and non-null values in a single query

Question

I have a table

create table us
(
 a number
);

Now I have data like:

a
1
2
3
4
null
null
null
8
9

Now I need

Answer 1

In my case I wanted the "null distribution" amongst multiple columns:

SELECT
       (CASE WHEN a IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NOT-NULL' END) AS a_null,
       (CASE WHEN b IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NOT-NULL' END) AS b_null,
       (CASE WHEN c IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NOT-NULL' END) AS c_null,
       ...
       count(*)
FROM us
GROUP BY 1, 2, 3,...
ORDER BY 1, 2, 3,...

As per the '...' it is easily extendable to more columns, as many as needed
