Is there a Postgres utility that allows data contained in a CSV file to be loaded into the database?

You mean like psql?

\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV

or with a header:
\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV HEADER

or an alternate delimiter:
\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV delimiter '|'

or export data (tab-delimited):
copy foo to stdout CSV DELIMITER E'\t';

Cheers,
Steve
