Best Database Options for Handling Large Data Imports?

SQLite is a solid choice for handling data like this. It's lightweight and can manage the volume you’re dealing with pretty well.

You can also consider breaking down your import into smaller batches to make it easier to handle. It might just work better than trying to shove everything at once!

For huge datasets, a dedicated database server is really beneficial. Running a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL on a VPS can be very affordable—think around $5-10/month.

If you don't mind a bit of work, try using a Docker container to run your chosen DB and process the data before uploading it directly to Cloudflare. This way, you avoid those timeout issues altogether!

Cloudflare Workers might not be the best for massive imports since they are made for quick requests. Instead, consider running a temporary VPS just for your import process. You can install PostgreSQL there, import your data without worrying about timeouts, and then either keep using it or migrate the cleaned data back to Cloudflare.

Just be sure to split the 10 GB file into smaller chunks. That way if anything goes wrong, you won't have to start from scratch!

I’d definitely preprocess your data locally. Since you're dealing with historical data that doesn’t need to be live, it makes sense to clean it up before uploading. Look into why you have 10 GB of it—is everything relevant? Trimming it down could save you a lot of headache down the line.

Definitely look into PostgreSQL! It's my go-to for almost every database task. Plus, it handles big volumes like 10 GB without breaking a sweat. You can import your data as CSV files, and it should be straightforward.

Just make sure you format everything correctly before importing!
