Description:
------------
It seems to be impossible to pass NULL value to a PDO PostgreSQL statement neither with bindValue nor using '?'-format and $statement->execute(array(null)).

Test script:
---------------
$pdo = new PDO('pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=db', 'user', 'pass');
$statement = $pdo->prepare('SELECT \'ok\' WHERE NULL IS :nullValue');
$statement->bindValue(':nullValue', null, PDO::PARAM_NULL);
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetchColumn(0);
var_export($result);

Expected result:
----------------
'ok'

Actual result:
--------------
false

Sorry, I forgot to mention this only applies to binding a null value as part of a condition. Value assignment works fine (fieldName = :nullValue), so it might has to do something with the 'IS' keryword?

You should write "...WHERE :nullValue IS NULL" instead of ".. WHERE NULL IS :nullValue", otherwise execute() fails with a syntax error.
I'm not sure your example would work anyway since passing a null value in a bind parameter seems problematic, but at least it would fail because of PDO and not because of the SQL itself :)
