Issue with PSQL JDBC Driver Null Pointer

[Bhavesh Mistry <bhavesh.mistry13@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am getting an NPE exception in the JDBC driver 42.2.23. 

When the alias is null, NPE results.  Is it possible to handle null value ? I have filled a bug against RCA https://github.com/vladmihalcea/hibernate-types/issues/335.  But, I thought that PSQL Driver can handle it more gracefully.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null
