Description

Related to #987:

  1. Edit a PostGIS table cell in a numeric column trying to make it NULL. Save changes.

Error: 

ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type double precision: ""

Same happens at saving changes when quiting digitizer.

Is there a reason QGIS doesn't allow null numeric table cells?

The problem with saving the null values is when sending the INSERT or UPDATE statement to the PostgreSQL database the value is quoted, which is okay for numbers and must be for special values like 'NAN' or 'Infinity', but quotes with zero or more spaces is not accepted. The value needs to be NULL (no quotes) or the comma separators with nothing but whitespace between.
