Generate SQL INSERT statements from CSV headers and rows.
Turning a CSV into dozens of INSERT tuples by hand is the kind of job where one quote can ruin the whole statement. This tool generates batched INSERT SQL, but it does not pretend every database uses the same dialect.
Blank cells become NULL. Values that look numeric are emitted without quotes. Other values are single-quoted, with embedded apostrophes escaped by doubling them. Column names are wrapped in backticks.
The first CSV row becomes the column list. Blank or duplicate headers are not validated against your database schema, so a header audit before SQL generation can save a lot of debugging later.
Backtick identifier quoting is familiar in MySQL-like systems, but PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and others have different conventions. Treat the generated text as a strong draft, not universal SQL.
A value such as 00123 currently looks numeric to the generator and is emitted without quotes. If that field is really a product code or member ID, the database may store it as 123. Review identifier-like columns before execution.
A batch size of 100 creates statements with up to 100 value tuples each. Smaller batches are easier to isolate when something fails; larger batches are more compact. Match this to your database and execution environment.
Foreign keys, uniqueness, NOT NULL constraints, transactions, permissions, and schema types are outside this tool. A staging table or transaction is a safer first destination than production.
String escaping is only one part of safe execution. The tool cannot validate the business meaning of values, privileges, schema constraints, or whether the statement should run in production at all.
