Обсуждение: one null value in array isnt allowed???

Hi,

Updating an array field with one null value isnt possible:

UPDATE table SET integer_array = ARRAY[NULL]

But those queries are working:

UPDATE table SET integer_array = ARRAY[NULL,1]
UPDATE table SET integer_array = ARRAY[1,NULL]

This dosent seems logical to me.
Is it a bug?

Thanks for helping,
atu

Try to specify an explicit type, e.g. ARRAY[NULL]::int[]

No, those are obviously arrays of integers inferred from the non-NULL
element.
