Here is what’s worked for me; I can’t guarantee it being the best possible way to do it, but it works. :) Basically, first I find all...

csv-to-sqlite - copying from CSV files to a SQLite database

 csv-to-sqlite is a command line tool that **takes CSV files and dumps their contents into a SQLite database**. The basic gist: for each file, the script creates a database table with the same name, tries to guess the data type, then copies all the data into the database....
