807174161,MDU6SXNzdWU4MDcxNzQxNjE=,227,Error reading csv files with large column data,295329,closed,0,,,4,2021-02-12T11:51:47Z,2021-02-16T11:48:03Z,2021-02-14T21:17:19Z,NONE,,"*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

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](https://stackoverflow.com/a/54517228/2761423) reading in csv files in python and [doesn't look to be modifiable](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/ea46579067fd2d4e164d6605719ffec690c4d621/Modules/_csv.c#L1685) 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 🙇‍♀️ ",140912432,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/227/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
