I don't see how that rules out a CSV lib for reading CSV formatted input.

Also, I am not sure what the purpose of your exercise is.  Isn't there
a CSV import in MySQL available?  What about
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlimport.html ?  I do not
see any data manipulation in your code so the regular tools should be
sufficient.  Did I miss anything?

Kind regards
