Postgresql Solutions
Solution 1 - Postgresql
pgAdmin has GUI for data import since 1.16. You have to create your table first and then you can import data easily - just right-click on the table name and click on Import.
Solution 2 - Postgresql
assuming you have a SQL table called mydata - you can load data from a csv file as follows:
COPY MYDATA FROM '<PATH>/MYDATA.CSV' CSV HEADER;
For more details refer to: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-copy.html
Solution 3 - Postgresql
You may have a table called 'test'
COPY test(gid, "name", the_geom)
FROM '/home/data/sample.csv'
WITH DELIMITER ','
CSV HEADER
