Re: How to store empty to Date field ?

To update all existing records with empty values:
update table1
set datefield = null;

To insert an empty value into a new record:
insert into table1 (datefield) values (null);

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

Unfortunately, PG does not have any sense of an "empty" date. It must either
be valid or NULL.
