CSV to SQL Conversion Made Simple

Our free online CSV to SQL converter transforms spreadsheet data into properly formatted SQL INSERT statements. Whether you need to migrate data into MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or any other relational database, this tool handles the conversion with precision.

It supports common CSV formats including quoted strings, multiline values, and escaped characters. Each generated INSERT statement uses proper value formatting with correct string escaping to help prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Database Schema Generation

Beyond INSERT statements, the tool can automatically detect column types from your CSV and generate corresponding CREATE TABLE statements. Numeric columns are typed as INTEGER or DECIMAL, text columns as VARCHAR, and boolean values as BOOLEAN or TINYINT depending on your chosen SQL dialect.

Bulk Data Import

For large datasets, the multiline INSERT option combines multiple rows into a single INSERT statement with value lists. This reduces the number of statements and speeds up bulk imports in most database systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the SQL escaping work?

String values are wrapped in single quotes with internal single quotes escaped by doubling them (e.g., O'Brien becomes O''Brien). Special characters like backslashes and newlines are also escaped based on the selected SQL dialect.

Can I convert very large CSV files?

Since all processing happens in your browser, very large files (100MB+) may cause performance issues. For best results, we recommend files under 10MB. The multiline INSERT option can help reduce output size by combining rows.

What SQL dialects are supported?

We support Standard SQL (ANSI), MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Each dialect has its own string escaping rules and data type mappings to ensure compatibility with your target database.

Is my data uploaded to any server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your CSV data and generated SQL never leave your device. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive data.

How are data types detected for CREATE TABLE?

The tool analyzes sample values in each column to detect types. It looks for integers, decimal numbers, booleans (true/false), and dates. If a column contains mixed types, it defaults to VARCHAR for safety.
