Excel to SQL Conversion Examples

Simple Data Import

Excel Data with Name, Email, Age, City columns

Generated SQL:

CREATE TABLE customers (
  name VARCHAR(100),
  email VARCHAR(150),
  age INT,
  city VARCHAR(100)
 );
 
 INSERT INTO customers (name, email, age, city) VALUES
 ('John Smith', 'john@email.com', 32, 'New York'),
 ('Jane Doe', 'jane@email.com', 28, 'Los Angeles');

Batch INSERT for Large Datasets

For thousands of rows, we generate optimized batch inserts:

INSERT INTO products (sku, name, price, stock) VALUES
 ('SKU001', 'Product A', 29.99, 100),
 ('SKU002', 'Product B', 49.99, 50),
 ('SKU003', 'Product C', 19.99, 200);

UPDATE Existing Records

When you need to update existing database records:

UPDATE inventory SET
  stock_quantity = 150,
  last_updated = '2024-01-15'
 WHERE sku = 'SKU001';

Handling Special Cases

NULL Values

Empty cells in Excel are properly converted to NULL in SQL, with appropriate handling for required fields.

Special Characters

Quotes, backslashes, and other special characters are automatically escaped to prevent SQL injection and syntax errors.

Date Formats

Excel dates are converted to standard SQL date formats (YYYY-MM-DD) regardless of your Excel locale settings.

Large Numbers

Phone numbers, IDs, and other large numbers are preserved as strings when appropriate to avoid precision loss.

Use Cases for Excel to SQL Conversion

Data Migration

Moving from spreadsheet-based systems to proper database applications. Import years of Excel data into your new database.

ETL Processes

Regular data imports from Excel reports into data warehouses or analytics databases.

One-Time Imports

Best Practices for Excel to SQL Conversion

1. Clean your data first - Remove duplicate headers, empty rows, and merged cells

2. Use consistent formats - Ensure dates and numbers are formatted consistently

3. Define primary keys - Identify unique identifier columns

4. Test with small batches - Verify conversion accuracy before importing large datasets

5. Backup your database - Always backup before running generated INSERT statements
