You can't store null values in arrays (yet).

Assuming your arrays are text[] or varchar[] you can store the empty string
represented by "" though. You might find it safest to put "" around all your
parameters and quote "s inside them.

Or better yet (imho) is to use the new array[...] constructor. That you can do
using the existing quoting functions without worrying about someone sneaking a
double quote inside your values. They also play nicer with placeholders.
