How to use Convert CSV to SQL
- 1. Paste your CSV. Drop the comma-separated rows into the input pane. Each row's values are quoted and typed appropriately, with numbers left bare and text wrapped in single quotes.
- 2. Name the target table. Enter the destination table name in the Table name field. This becomes the identifier right after INSERT INTO in every generated statement, so make it match your actual schema.
- 3. Choose the header and statement style. Leave First row is header checked to use it for column names instead of data. Turn on Single multi-row statement to get one INSERT with all rows instead of one per row.
- 4. Copy the SQL statements. Copy the generated INSERT statements and run them against your database, or paste them into a migration file to seed a table with the CSV's contents.
When to use Convert CSV to SQL
Convert CSV to SQL turns spreadsheet rows into ready-to-run INSERT statements for a target table. It's for getting exported or sample data into a database without writing loader code or a full import pipeline.
- Seeding a database for local development. You have a CSV of sample users or products and want your dev database populated quickly. Generating INSERT statements lets you run them straight in a SQL client without extra tooling.
- Migrating a small export into a new table. A one-off export needs to land in a table you just created. Naming the table and generating statements is faster than writing a custom import script for a handful of rows.
- Building a test fixture for a migration file. A schema migration needs sample rows checked into version control. Converting a CSV to a single multi-row INSERT keeps the fixture compact inside the migration file.
Examples
One INSERT per row
Input
name,age Ada,36
Output
INSERT INTO "my_table" ("name", "age") VALUES ('Ada', 36);About the Convert CSV to SQL tool
Convert CSV to SQL is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Generate SQL insert queries from a CSV file. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 133 CSV utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 3 settings, including Table name, First row is header and Single multi-row statement, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.

How much text can I process at once?
