I have to use a value to be used as “none” for payment method and contact. In PL/pgSQL add_quote and edit_quote functions, that value is NULL, while in forms it is the empty string. I can not simply pass the empty string for either of these fields because PL/pgSQL expects (nullable) integers, and "" is not a valid integer and is not NULL either. A conversion is necessary. Apparently, Go’s nil is not a valid representation for SQL’s NULL with pgx, and had to use sql.NullString instead. I also needed to coalesce contact’s VATIN and phone, because null values can not be scanned to *string. I did not do that before because `coalesce(vatin, '')` throws an error that '' is not a valid VATIN and just left as is, wrongly expecting that pgx would do the job of leaving the string blank for me. It does not. Lastly, i can not blindly write Quotee’s tax details in the quote’s view page, or we would see the (), characters for the empty address info.
