I suggest switching to Navicat for MySQL -- if only for the csv table import wizard. After repeated attempts to get the MySQLWorkbench Import Wizard to work for my CSV file, I gave up. I recalled using Navicat in an early project and it worked flawlessly. For this import, I was able to load my 15000+ row CSV with multiple null datetime values into my MySQL table without a problem.

Weird that MySQLWorkbench still hasn't solved this annoyance. But Navicat provides an easy alternative until they do.
