Haa! That was the problem :) I just couldn't figure out what the error
meant... I think I could in earlier postgres-versions have an empty (not
NULL) value as an option.. But that seems now to be different..
Thanks for your help Jon!

ps. Can I set the PREFER_NULL setting as a default setting (like e.g.
Database tittelit DEFAULT_TYPE text) for all Integer-fields, or do I have to
specify them separately for each field?
