fix: count a NULL numeric attribute as 0 when increasing or decreasing it - #999

…g it An attribute added to a collection that already holds documents has no stored value in those rows: SQL adds the column as NULL and Mongo leaves the field absent, while the attribute default only applies to documents created afterwards. The SQL increment (col + :val) then leaves NULL in place, and the min/max bounds never match NULL, so the counter can never move; Mongo's $inc rejects an explicit null. The SQL adapters now use COALESCE(col, 0) in the update and its bounds, and Mongo sets a null field to 0 before $inc, matching the Memory and Redis adapters, which already treat a missing value as 0.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe MariaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL adapters now treat null counter values as zero when applying increments and optional bounds. An end-to-end test checks increments and decrements on an optional integer attribute added after document creation. ChangesNull counter updates

Do not replace arrays that contain null.
In schemaless mode, a document with counter: [null] can reach this adapter method. MongoDB matches {counter: null} against an array containing null, so the preliminary $set replaces the array with 0. The following $inc can then persist 1 instead of rejecting the non-numeric field. On a standalone MongoDB server, no transaction rolls back that data loss. Use a single atomic update that treats only a null or missing field as zero and rejects an array value. (mongodb.com)

Adding a numeric attribute to a collection that already has documents leaves those documents without a stored value: SQL adds the column as
