I've got a vendor that's going to FTP product data files directly into a 
folder on a site. From there, I need to be able to run several different 
queries on this to come up with a list of PIN numbers which then get 
used elsewhere.

I got my first glimpse at one of the 'files' yesterday. It's a 75 to 80 
meg CSV text file! They FTP a new one once a week.

What would be considered "best practice" in handling this file so i can 
run queries on it? Import the needed bits into a database (still a big 
chunk of data)? Something else?

You can't directly query a CSV file, correct?
