The biggest ones I've seen are 1.2GB.

Why this company uses gigabyte CSVs is a separate problem.

(Also sometimes they want to compare a CSV to what's in a database, which the script can also do but I didn't mention in the post)

That makes sense. I have been asked to write a program that does a standard spreadsheet function on multiple occasions, so I was just curious. Sometimes people just don't know the tools at hand, want to offload their work, or think an over complicated workflow is a better workflow. I can see how it was actually useful in your case though.
