This standardizes the NULL handling behavior of
argmin
/argmax
to better match user expectations and the common implementation of the SQLmin_by
/max_by
methods.Previously some backends would jump through hoops to avoid returning
NULL
values from these methods, even if the value that minimized the column wasNULL
. We now no longer do this (and workaround the compatibility issues in a few backends that did this by default). Fixes #10193.
