Well, somebody had better suggest a syntax for it, preferably without
adding yet another keyword.

Actually, all that needs to happen is for NULL AS to accept '""' as a string. Right now that produces:

ERROR:  CSV quote character must not appear in the NULL specification

What's the issue with that? I can see how NULL AS '"' would break things, but if I wanted NULL AS '"Josh"' shouldn't I be able to have it?


See previous thread on -patches/-hackers "allow CSV quote in NULL" in July 2007.

Quite apart from any other objection, doing what you suggest will not be column-by-column, like what I suggested. It's an all or nothing deal.

cheers
