I am new to Postgre, having formerly used Filemaker Pro.  I need to import CSV files into Postgre which contain some empty string "" values in several date-type fields.  I am able to import the CSV files into Postgre with the COPY FROM command if the datefields are converted to text fields in Postgre.  However, I need some method of "converting" the empty string "" values into NULL values after import, so that I can change the date fields back to date-type.  Any suggestions on how this could be accomplished?


Thanks,

-Nate
