这是成功的一个例子：

with x as ( 
    delete from common.companies where id = '0f8ed160-370a-47bb-b4bf-2dcf79100a52' 
    returning row_to_json(companies) as old_data, null as new_data, 'common.companies' as model, id, 'delete' as action)
insert into edit_history (old_data, new_data, model, model_pk, action, submitter)
select old_data, null, model, id, action, '0b392013-f680-45a6-b19a-34f3d42d0120' from x;

INSERT 0 1

请注意，insert-select中的第二列是明确为null。

这是一个失败的示例：

with x as (
    delete from common.companies where id = '160d7ef2-807c-4fe0-bfed-7d282c031610' 
    returning row_to_json(companies) as old_data, null as new_data, 'common.companies' as model, id, 'delete' as action)
insert into edit_history (old_data, new_data, model, model_pk, action, submitter)                                                                   
select old_data, new_data, model, id, action, '0b392013-f680-45a6-b19a-34f3d42d0120' from x;

ERROR:  failed to find conversion function from unknown to json

请注意，在此示例中，我得到了new_data，而不是第二列中的显式null ，它从delete语句作为null返回。

如果两个值都为null，那么第二个示例为什么会因为这个错误而困扰我？我已经仔细检查了两者，这是唯一的功能差异。
