About CSV to SQL Converter

The CSV to SQL converter parses CSV data using csv-parse and generates a `CREATE TABLE` statement plus `INSERT INTO` rows. Column types are inferred automatically — numeric columns become `INTEGER` or `REAL`, boolean strings become `BOOLEAN`, and all other columns become `TEXT`. The CSV input panel shows a sortable table preview. The conversion is one-way; use CSV to JSON and then JSON to SQL for more control.

Features

Common Use Cases

  • Importing spreadsheet data into a SQL database via generated INSERT statements

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat SQL dialect does the output target?

The generated SQL uses standard syntax (quoted identifiers, standard types) compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Minor syntax tweaks may be needed for specific dialects.

QHow are column types determined?

The converter samples all values in each column. If all are integers it uses INTEGER, if all are numeric it uses REAL, true/false values produce BOOLEAN, and all others produce TEXT.

QIs my data sent to a server?

No. All conversion runs in a Web Worker inside your browser.
