I doubt these are available at all any more. But if you have CSV files, you can easily convert them into query objects using CFHTTP - your CSV file has to be web-accessible - then do whatever you want with them. Honestly, it can't get much easier, although it strikes me as something that might not perform so well in a high volume environment.
