Maybe this one
<programlisting>
SELECT
1 + null AS "Add",
'text' || null AS "Concatenate";
</programlisting>

Would be good to explain about explicit casting, because only Numeric, Text
and Boolean will work implicitly.

This ones will work
SELECT
1 + null AS "Add",
'text' || null AS "Concatenate",
false or null AS "BoolOR";

But any other datatype will work only if casted properly
select Current_Date + null::integer;
select jsonb_build_object ('x',5) || null::jsonb

Marcos
