Ask HN: Best way to share large data table online?

5 pointsby Zaheer13 yıl önce10 comments

I have a large csv file (data table) I would like to share online in a nice sortable/filterable/searchable table. Are there any tools that do this - preferably would like a solution with less technical experience as I know friends that have a similar goal.

Google fusion tables is somewhat useful. I think you can give them money if your data is too big for the free limit, but I could be wrong.

This worked great! Didn't know this existed!

Look into DataTables javascript library to make the data presentable once you find a way to serve it.

I've seen DataTables which I may be able to set up but for non-technical data to be able to share data its simply unmanageable.

Just give people the CSV file. Excel/OpenOffice will sort/filter/search it. Your friends are more likely to have used Excel than some web app or JS library.

How large is "large"? Thousands of rows? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?

Tens of thousands of rows for me. Though may be higher for some of my buddies.

I reached their 400k cell limit :( Although Google Fusion works great as someone else pointed out below!

Didn't know there was a limit - interesting :)
