You can use the File class to open the file and process the
lines, but even better would to import your data into a real, but
simple, database. Check out InstantDB at http://www.instantdb.co.uk/
It's pure Java and has a native JDBC driver interface so you can
use SQL to process your data but doesn't require a separate database
process.
