MySQL Error when importing CSV with empty fields
Something like this, checking every value for '', and inserting NULL instead, may help. Change a,b,c,d for the actual name and number of rows on the table:

$ cat /tmp/test.csv 
test1, test2, test3, test4
,,,
1,2,3,4
,,,

mysql&gt; LOAD DATA INFILE "/tmp/test.csv" INTO TABLE test.test  
          FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','  
          OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' 
          LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' 
          IGNORE 1 ROWS 
       (@a, @b, @c, @d) 
       SET a = IF(@a = '', NULL, @a), 
           b = IF(@b = '', NULL, @b), 
           c = IF(@c = '', NULL, @c), 
           d = IF(@d = '', NULL, @d);
