If table A value IS NULL then table B - Mailing list pgsql-general

I've got a table called 'main' described as follow

CREATE TABLE main (
  id_other_table INT,
  value CHAR
);

and a table called 'other' described as follow

CREATE TABLE other (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  value CHAR
);

I want to write a query on table 'main' that if 'id_other_table' is null
returns value from itself, from table 'other' otherwise.

Thank you very much, have a wonderful day!
