RE: Error in the date field (with NULL value...).Thanks!

Perhaps you can run your file through a filter to replace '' to null.

Any of sed, perl, python and other scripting languages would do nicely.

e.g.

sed -e "s/''/null/g" < myfile > myfile2

...

My question:
How can I resolv my problem? I have a big data file to import where
in the 2nd date field there is '' instead of null ....

How can I "binds" PostgreSQL to consider '' as null ?

Many thanks for any suggestions!

CIAO!
MAURIZIO
