I've accessed CSV using PERL and DBI.

ODBC:
The Microsoft Text ODBC Driver is standard on Windows. So it's free even if it's not Free.

Hopefully there are drivers for UnixODBC or iODBC. However, I couldn't find any links with a quick search.

I used a wonderful jquery plugin in one of the sites I created. It took a CSV file as input and created a HTML table that could be viewed and sorted. I was also able to add stripes (different colors to alternate rows) using CSS. For accessibility, I gave the direct link to the CSV file in the noscript tag. So, if someone did not want to run JavaScript, they could see the contents in the file rather than on screen in a web browser. Here's the jquery plugin I used:

Code for the project is available here as well:
