DELETE 
FROM sal_head
WHERE nvl(cm_number,-1) NOT IN (
    SELECT nvl(cm_number,-1)
    FROM sal_detl
)

Alternatively, make cm_number non-nullable in both tables.

How Using a nvl(cm_number,-1) when used for replacing a null column with -1, will enhance the performance, (if so)

Thanks

NOT IN can be resolved with an ANTI-JOIN, but not if either side of the join can be NULL. If either side is nullable, then Oracle MUST use a nested filter to process the subquery.

The NVL() enables an anti-join, which can then be un-nested.
