Nothing
The only purpose of this data type is to represent NULL, i.e., no value.
You can't create a Nothing
type value, because it is used where a value is not expected. For example, NULL
is written as Nullable(Nothing)
(Nullable is the data type that allows storing NULL
in tables).
The Nothing
type is also used to denote empty arrays:
:) SELECT toTypeName(Array())
SELECT toTypeName([])
┌─toTypeName(array())─┐
│ Array(Nothing) │
└─────────────────────┘
