Frequently asked

Are string values escaped?

Yes. Single quotes in string values are escaped as '' (two single quotes), which is standard SQL escaping compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Does it detect numeric columns?

Yes. Values that parse as valid numbers are inserted without quotes; everything else is treated as a string.

Does CSV to SQL Inserts upload my data?

Your file or text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

What does CSV to SQL Inserts output?

It outputs reviewable SQL statements. String values are single-quote escaped, and table and column names are cleaned into SQL-safe identifiers.

Should I review the result before using it?

Yes. Data formats vary, so always review generated output before using it in production, database, or publishing workflows.
