Yeah, the world would probably be a better place if the default in a column definition was NOT NULL rather than NULL.

That's not really relevant to this discussion, though -- once you do have a nullable column in your schema, it doesn't make sense in the Go layer to pretend you don't.

It’s tangential but still relevant to the discussion.

I agree and never suggested what this Go API was doing did make sense.
