What does this tool do?
Converts your CSV data into ready-to-run INSERT INTO statements for a database. You set the target table name and the delimiter, the first row becomes the column names, and the tool produces a separate INSERT statement for each data row, handy for anyone who needs to seed tables quickly.
How to use it
- Paste or type your data into the left field.
- The result is generated instantly on the right.
- Use the Copy button to grab the output.
Smart value formatting
The tool inspects each value: purely numeric values (such as 30 or 19.99) are left unquoted, while every other value is wrapped in single quotes. Single quotes inside text are escaped by doubling them per SQL rules, so names like 'O'Brien' won't break the query. Column and table names are wrapped in backticks (`), producing MySQL/MariaDB-compatible statements you can run directly.
Example output
For a header 'id,name,email' and a row '1,Alice,alice@example.com', the tool generates: INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES (1, 'Alice', 'alice@example.com'); You can change the table name in the field above and set the delimiter to match your data format. Copy all the INSERT lines with one click and paste them into your database client.
Frequently asked questions
Which SQL dialect are the statements generated for?
Because it wraps table and column names in backticks (`), the output matches MySQL and MariaDB exactly. For PostgreSQL, simply replace the backticks with double quotes.
How are numbers and text values distinguished?
Only fully numeric values (with an optional decimal point and minus sign) are left unquoted; everything else is treated as text and wrapped in single quotes.
What is the minimum number of rows required?
You need one header row plus at least one data row. Otherwise the tool shows a notice that it can't generate any INSERT statements.
