As soon as you quote a string, COPY will consider it not to be NULL, but empty
string if there's no content.
You have to express NULL as ;; with your settings, as shown here:
pgloader=# create table tmptable(one varchar, two varchar);
CREATE TABLE
pgloader=# copy tmptable from stdin DELIMITER AS ';' NULL AS '' CSV QUOTE
AS '"';
Entrez les données à copier suivies d'un saut de ligne.
Terminez avec un antislash et un point seuls sur une ligne.
>> ;""
>> ;""
>> \.
pgloader=# select * from tmptable where one is null;
one | two
