Is it possible to set a NULL value as a parameter value to PQexecParams?
I.e., other than hard-coding it into the command string.

The idea is mostly for UPDATE statements, so a column could be set to null
if it otherwise does not have a valid value.

Thanks,

"paramValues[] specifies the actual values of the parameters. A null
pointer in this array means the corresponding parameter is null; ..."
says the documentation.
