Re: cat infile | translate all occurences of "NOT NULL" to ""

The easiest thing is probably to use vi.  Then write
	:s/"NOT NULL"/""/gc
the `g' will do each occurence, and the `c' will ask
for confirmation.  Once you are sure everything will
be fine, let it do `all'.

Otherwise, you can use `sed', but that is weird...
