I usually go straight to the source when looking for things in DataFrames 
as the documentation is missing quite a bit of functionality (push!, hcat, 
vcat, melt etc..) but in this case as Kevin mentioned: no dice.

But you can always hack it:

using DataFrames

fname = "datat.csv"
data = readcsv(fname,Any)
io = IOBuffer()
writecsv(io,data')
seek(io,0)

readtable(io,filesize(fname))
