Coalesce return empty array

Hey is there a way to return an empty array rather than

null

null

when an array column is empty?

I already tried

.select(coalesce("categories",sql`ARRAY[]::"CollectionCategory"[]`).as("categories"))

.select(coalesce("categories",sql`ARRAY[]::"CollectionCategory"[]`).as("categories"))

.select(coalesce("categories",sql`ARRAY[]::"CollectionCategory"[]`).as("categories"))

.select(coalesce("categories",sql`ARRAY[]::"CollectionCategory"[]`).as("categories"))

but it's still returning null and not an empty array
