Execute SQL on CSV files via JDBC

Question

I need to apply an SQL query to CSV files (comma-separated text files). My SQL is predefined from another tool, and is not eligible to change. It may contain embedded select

Answer 1

If your SQL is predefined and cannot be changed your best option is to load your CSV into a database and run queries against it.

Apache Derby is a viable option, so are MySQL, which even has a CSV storage engine or PostgreSQL.

Does your SQL use any proprietary functions / extensions? If so, that may limit your choices.
