SQL to CSV Converter
Convert SQL INSERT statements with VALUES clauses into structured CSV rows and view the parsed row count.
Run tool
The SQL to CSV converter extracts tabular records from SQL INSERT statements containing parenthesized VALUES groups and formats them into clean comma-separated values. When you paste SQL dump snippets or database insert scripts into the input box, the tool identifies the VALUES section and transforms each parenthesized group into a corresponding CSV line. It also displays the total count of parsed value groups, making it simple to verify that your record set matches expected totals. If the input field is left empty or contains text without a recognizable VALUES clause, the converter generates empty CSV output and reports a row count of zero. This focused parser handles single and multiple value groups within standard insert blocks without requiring database connection credentials. Use this utility to export database insert batches into spreadsheet-ready lines, prepare structured test datasets, or quickly inspect table inserts during data migration workflows.
Instructions
- Paste your SQL statement containing a VALUES clause into the SQL Input box.
- Click Convert to extract the parenthesized data groups.
- Inspect the resulting CSV text and the reported row count in the output section.
- Copy the generated CSV rows for use in spreadsheets or downstream applications.
Examples
- Input: INSERT INTO users (id, name, city) VALUES (1, 'Alice', 'New York'), (2, 'Bob', 'Seattle'); -> Output produces two CSV rows with row count 2.
- Input: INSERT INTO orders VALUES (1001, 49.99, 'shipped'); -> Output produces a single CSV row with row count 1.
FAQ
What happens if my SQL query has no VALUES clause?
When the input does not include a recognizable VALUES clause, the tool generates empty CSV text and reports a parsed row count of zero.
Can I process multiple value groups in a single statement?
Yes. Multiple parenthesized value groups separated by commas inside a VALUES clause are converted into distinct CSV rows, and the row counter reflects the total number of parsed groups.
Does this tool support general SELECT or UPDATE statements?
No. The converter is specifically designed to extract parenthesized record groups from INSERT-style VALUES sections rather than parsing arbitrary SQL query structures.
