I have a question regarding the fun valueFromDB(value: kotlin.Any): kotlin.Any in the IColumnType interface. Since columns can be nullable, why is the signature here not allowing null values? This forces implementers to additionally check null somewhere else, and not within a custom column type implementation.

What implementers ? Afaik only exposed itself is doing the null checks. (and thus you cannot have special handling for null values I think)
Cant you just handle it in fun readObject(rs: ResultSet, index: Int): Any?

@spand - thanks for the suggestion, I'll try there.

Yup, that works as expected. Thanks for the hint.
