What databases does this CSV to SQL converter support?

The converter supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. Each dialect uses the correct quoting style: backticks for MySQL, double-quotes for PostgreSQL, and no quotes for SQLite identifiers. String values are always single-quoted and escaped safely.

Does my CSV data get uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your CSV data never leaves your device, making this tool completely private and secure for sensitive data.

How do I handle CSV files with special characters or commas in values?

Wrap values containing commas, quotes, or newlines in double quotes in your CSV. The converter handles standard CSV escaping — double quotes inside quoted fields are represented as two consecutive double quotes ("").

What is batch INSERT and why should I use it?

Batch INSERT combines multiple rows into a single INSERT statement (e.g., INSERT INTO table VALUES (row1), (row2), ...). This is significantly faster than individual INSERT statements for large datasets, as it reduces round-trips to the database.

Can I convert a CSV file without a header row?

Yes — uncheck the 'First row is header' option. The converter will use generic column names (col1, col2, col3, etc.) for the INSERT statements.

How large a CSV can I convert?

Since processing is done client-side in your browser, practical limits depend on your device memory. The tool handles thousands of rows easily. For very large files (100k+ rows), consider splitting the CSV into chunks.
