I'm trying to import a delimited text file into teradata via queryman. The problem is that I have date columns which contain either dates or are empty (null). The nulls are blowing up in my import - i have the dates set up to import as cast(? as timestamp(0)) and it works fine for the data but not for the nulls. I tried using coalesce((cast(? as timestamp(0))),null) but it gives me invalid timestamp.

Is my only alternative to modify the text file and dummy in dates?
