In sqlite3\'s client CLI, there is \" .import file TABLE_name \" to do it.
But, I do not want to install sqlite3 to my server at present.
In python sqlite3 modul
You could insert at one shot using executemany command instead of inserting one by one
Lets say I have users.csv with following contents
"Hugo","Boss"
"Calvin","Klein"
and basically open with csv module and pass it to .executemany function
import csv,sqlite3
persons= csv.reader(open("users.csv"))
con = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
con.execute("create table person(firstname, lastname)")
con.executemany("insert into person(firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)", persons)
for row in con.execute("select firstname, lastname from person"):
print row
#(u'Hugo', u'Boss')
#(u'Calvin', u'Klein')
