Feel free to close this issue - I mostly added it for reference for future folks that run into this :)

I have a CSV file with one column that has very long strings. When i try to import this file via the insert command I get the following error: ``` sqlite-utils insert database.db table_name file_with_large_column.csv

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/sqlite-utils", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(cli()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 829, in call return self.main(args, kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 782, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1259, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1066, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, ctx.params) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 610, in invoke return callback(args, kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlite_utils/cli.py", line 774, in insert default=default, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlite_utils/cli.py", line 705, in insert_upsert_implementation docs, pk=pk, batch_size=batch_size, alter=alter, extra_kwargs File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlite_utils/db.py", line 1852, in insert_all first_record = next(records) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlite_utils/cli.py", line 703, in <genexpr> docs = (decode_base64_values(doc) for doc in docs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sqlite_utils/cli.py", line 681, in <genexpr> docs = (dict(zip(headers, row)) for row in reader) _csv.Error: field larger than field limit (131072) Built with the docker image `datasetteproject/datasette:0.54` with the following versions:

sqlite-utils --version

sqlite-utils, version 3.4.1

datasette --version

datasette, version 0.54 ``` It appears this is a known issue reading in csv files in python and doesn't look to be modifiable through system / env vars (i may be very wrong on this).

Noting that using sqlite3 import command work without error (not using the python csv reader) sqlite3 database.db sqlite> .mode csv sqlite> .import file_with_large_column.csv table_name Sadly I couldn't see an easy way around this while using the cli as it appears this value needs to be changed in python code. FWIW I've switched to using https://datasette.io/tools/csvs-to-sqlite for importing csv data and it's working well.

Finally, I'm loving https://datasette.io/ thank you very much for an amazing tool and data ecosytem 🙇‍♀️
