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

by Zaheer on 10/2/2013, 2:33 AM with 10 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.

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

    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?
