    For some elements (e.g. zip codes), may be better for default value to be null, not 0.

    Assume you have a table of people called (what else) People.

    create table People (
        id int,
        first_name varchar(30),
        last_name varchar(50),
        city varchar(50),
        state varchar(50),
        zip int
    );
    

    Next, load your file.csv into the People table. Note the last line (starting with set) where zip is assigned null if the value in the file is "" (aka an empty string)

    load data local infile '/path/to/file.csv'
    into table People
    fields 
        terminated by ','
        enclosed by '"'
    lines terminated by '\n'
    (id, first_name, last_name, city, state, @zip)
    set zip = if(@zip='', null, @zip);
