Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool support multi-row batch INSERT statements?
Yes! It parses multi-row batch INSERT statements with multiple tuple values (e.g., INSERT INTO table VALUES (1, 'A'), (2, 'B')) as well as multiple separate INSERT statements.
Can I convert SQL dumps to Excel-compatible TSV files?
Yes. Select 'Tab TSV (\t)' from the CSV Delimiter dropdown to generate tab-separated files that paste directly into Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Apple Numbers.
Are my database dumps or private data uploaded to a server?
No. All SQL parsing, lexical tokenization, and CSV generation execute 100% locally in your web browser. Zero bytes are uploaded or sent over any network.
How are column names determined if my SQL omits them?
If an INSERT statement omits explicit column identifiers (e.g. INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice')), the converter generates smart fallback headers (col_1, col_2, ...).
How does the tool handle quotes inside SQL string literals?
The parser unescapes SQL doubled single quotes ('') and backslash-escaped quotes (\'), converting them into clean characters properly escaped according to RFC 4180 standards.
