Re: Figure out nullability of query parameters

Hello!

I’m Giacomo, I’m the maintainer of <https://github.com/giacomocavalieri/squirrel>, a tool that can generate type safe bindings to run and decode the results of Postgres queries. It does that by implementing the extended query protocol, which, among other things, returns the OIDs of the query parameters’ types.

This is really handy and has worked great so far but I’m running into some rough edges when it comes to the nullability of query parameters.

Take a query like this one:

```

insert into some_table(not_null_col, nullable_column)

values ($1, $2)

```

It would be really handy to know that `$1` is being used as a non nullable value, while `$2` could actually be null. Can this already be achieve today, or would there be a way to surface this kind of information for query parameters in the extended protocol?

Sorry if this is not the proper list, I’m very new to all of this :)

Thanks!

Giacomo
