…ypes is set Closes #3276. When emit_pointers_for_null_types is true (PostgreSQL with pgx/v4 or pgx/v5), nullable enum columns are now generated as pointers (*UserRole) instead of the NullUserRole wrapper struct, matching the existing behavior for other nullable types. To preserve the previous behavior when upgrading, set emit_pointers_for_null_enum_types: false. When explicitly set, this flag overrides emit_pointers_for_null_types for enums only, so it can also be used to opt into the pointer treatment for enums without enabling it for every other null type. https://claude.ai/code/session_01K2xVtbacEbjbA9ymg6dPtr

Closes #3276. When emit_pointers_for_null_types is true (PostgreSQL with
pgx/v4 or pgx/v5), nullable enum columns are now generated as pointers
(*UserRole) instead of the NullUserRole wrapper struct, matching the
existing behavior for other nullable types.
To preserve the previous behavior when upgrading, set
emit_pointers_for_null_enum_types: false. When explicitly set, this flag
overrides emit_pointers_for_null_types for enums only, so it can also be
used to opt into the pointer treatment for enums without enabling it for
every other null type.
