How to Convert SQL to CSV
Extract database rows from a supported SQL dump in three simple steps.
Select a Table
Optionally enter a table filter, then convert. Without a filter, the first table containing insert rows is selected.
Download CSV
Download a standards-compliant .csv file with column headers followed by the extracted database rows.
Why Use Our SQL to CSV Converter?
A dependable way to turn database inserts into portable rows for spreadsheets and data tools.
Flexible Inserts
Both single-row and multi-row INSERT INTO ... VALUES statements are supported, with or without explicit column lists.
SQL Strings Decoded
Doubled quotes, common backslash escapes, commas, Unicode text, and line breaks are decoded before CSV quoting.
Table Filtering
Large dumps can contain several tables. Choose the table you need without mixing unrelated records into one CSV.
What Is an SQL Dump File?
An SQL dump is a text representation of database structure and data. MySQL and MariaDB exports commonly use CREATE TABLE statements for schemas and INSERT INTO statements for stored rows. This converter focuses on extracting those insert records into CSV.
Why convert SQL to CSV?
CSV opens easily in spreadsheet applications, analytics platforms, scripts, CRM importers, and migration utilities. Extracting one SQL table to CSV makes the data easier to inspect, share, clean, compare, or transfer without running a database server.
How columns are determined
Explicit INSERT column lists are used first. When an INSERT omits its columns, the converter reads the matching CREATE TABLE definition. If later inserts introduce additional columns, the CSV header expands and unavailable cells remain empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers about supported statements, SQL tables, CSV output, and file handling.
How do I convert an SQL file to CSV?
Upload the .sql dump, optionally enter a table filter, click “Convert to CSV,” and download the generated .csv file.
Which SQL statements are supported?
The converter extracts MySQL or MariaDB-style INSERT INTO ... VALUES statements and can read matching CREATE TABLE definitions.
Is this SQL to CSV converter free?
Yes. The tool can be used without registration or special conversion software.
Can I convert one table from a full dump?
Yes. Enter the exact table name in the optional filter. If left blank, the first table containing supported insert rows is converted.
Are multi-row INSERT statements supported?
Yes. Each parenthesized value group becomes a separate CSV row.
What are the file limits?
The upload limit is 25 MB, with a maximum of 50,000 data rows and 500 columns.
Are uploaded files kept on the server?
The original SQL file is deleted immediately after conversion. Generated CSV files older than 24 hours are removed automatically.
Why is my SQL file not converting?
It may use unsupported COPY or vendor-specific syntax, lack INSERT column lists and a CREATE TABLE schema, contain unfinished quotes, or exceed a file limit.
