Viewing a very large CSV file?

Question

I have a very large 3.5 GB CSV file that I'd like to be able to read, sort through and filter for results based on various inputs. I'm pretty sure I can just import it to a MySQL database and go from there, but is there any program or online tool available that involves simply uploading the CSV and the rest is automatic?

Answer 1

Yes, there is.

You can use OpenRefine (or Google Refine). OpenRefine is like a spreadsheet on steroids.

The file size that you can manipulate depend on your computer's memory.
