postgresql/src
Bruce Momjian bcaabc5698 Depending on my interpreting (and programming) skills, this might solve
anywhere from zero to two TODO items.

* Allow flag to control COPY input/output of NULLs

I got this:
COPY table .... [ WITH NULL AS 'string' ]
which does what you'd expect. The default is \N, otherwise you can use
empty strings, etc. On Copy In this acts like a filter: every data item
that looks like 'string' becomes a NULL. Pretty straightforward.

This also seems to be related to

* Make postgres user have a password by default

If I recall this discussion correctly, the problem was actually that the
default password for the postgres (or any) user is in fact "\N", because
of the way copy is used. With this change, the file pg_pwd is copied out
with nulls as empty strings, so if someone doesn't have a password, the
password is just '', which one would expect from a new account. I don't
think anyone really wants a hard-coded default password.
