`database/sql`. Implementations of database-specific null types are left
to the database driver. User types supporting `NULL` can be created by implementing interfaces [`database/sql/driver.Valuer`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql/driver/#Valuer) and [`database/sql.Scanner`](https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql/#Scanner).
You can also pass pointer types. Be careful for performance issues as it
requires extra memory allocations.
You can also pass pointer types.
```go
var name *string
err := db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT name FROM names WHERE id = $1", id).Scan(&name)
```
NOTE: Scanning will result in extra heap allocation, regardless of whether you use a pointer or one of the `Null`-types. From the point of pure memory allocation, the two alternatives are analogous and differ only in their intended reader semantic.
