Actually, I took a quick look, and it looks like the problem is that the 
code doesn't handle zero-length (but non-null) results. In this case, it 
looks like copyColumn needs to handle copying a zero-length string (or, 
maybe we just need to let escapeString have a zero-length quoted output).

I think we can patch this to fix the problem quickly (probably 3 lines 
or less), but we may need to verify that the proper syntax for importing 
into mysql. Can someone else open a ticket, implement it, test it, and 
shepherd it through to merging? Fritz? AndyS? Fabrice? I've got my hands 
full with preparing a talk.

Tatiana, I think you can work around this by making sure that none of 
your column values are empty strings.

Thanks,
-Daniel
