Nothing
The only purpose of this data type is to represent cases where a value is not expected. So you can’t create a Nothing
type value.
For example, literal NULL has type of Nullable(Nothing)
. See more about Nullable.
The Nothing
type can also used to denote empty arrays:
SELECT toTypeName(array())
┌─toTypeName(array())─┐
│ Array(Nothing) │
└─────────────────────┘
