Following a comment here, I've decided to take a closer look at the
NULL
handling and return types of JSON extraction functions in PostgreSQL and BigQuery, and found that we were inconsistent:json_extract
/->
should return a JSONnull
value when doing, e.g.,SELECT '{"duck": null}'->'duck';
,json_extract_string
/->>
/json_value
should return a SQLNULL
value.json_value
should beVARCHAR
, notJSON
.Both points were not implemented correctly in DuckDB, which this PR fixes.
