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

Subject: [SQL] Error in the date field (with NULL value...).Thanks!
...
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
