Databricks (or DBT?) assigns a data type of "void" to columns where every field is null. This breaks being able to do something simple like "select *" within databricks web ui. Casted this column to an int data type when it is hard coded to null.

Description & motivation
Databricks (or DBT?) assigns a data type of "void" to columns where every field is null. This breaks being able to do something simple like "select *" within databricks web ui (and other places). Casted this column to an int data type when it is hard coded to null.
