What This Tool Does
This tool converts CSV data into ready-to-run SQL INSERT statements. Paste CSV, choose a dialect and table name, and get correctly quoted, escaped INSERT statements for every row, generated as you type.
How to Convert CSV to SQL
Paste CSV data into the input, pasted straight from a spreadsheet or exported from another tool. Pick a dialect, set the table name, and toggle whether the first row is a header or plain data. The generated SQL updates automatically as you edit, or click Convert to run it manually.
Header Detection and Type Inference
With Header row enabled, the first line supplies column names, blank header cells fall back to col1, col2, and so on. With it disabled, every row is treated as data and columns are named automatically. Infer types converts CSV text that looks like a number or true/false into a real SQL number or boolean instead of a quoted string, turn it off to insert every value as text exactly as written.
Choosing a Dialect and Batch Size
SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite each quote identifiers and strings slightly differently, MySQL uses backticks for identifiers while the others use double quotes, and string escaping differs too. Batch size controls how many rows share a single INSERT statement: 1 row per statement is easiest to review and debug, larger batches like 100 or 500 rows generate far fewer statements and import faster.
Common Uses for a CSV to SQL Converter
Importing a CSV export from a spreadsheet or another system into a SQL database, seeding a test or development database from sample data, and turning a CSV file into INSERT statements for a database migration are all common reasons to convert CSV to SQL. Use it to convert csv to mysql insert, csv to postgresql insert, or csv to sqlite insert statements, as a csv to sql online converter that can generate sql insert from csv, handle a bulk insert from csv or csv to sql batch insert job, and import csv into sql database without writing the statements by hand.
