Frequently Asked Questions

What JSON format is required?

The converter requires a JSON array of objects where each object represents a database row. All objects should have the same property structure. The property names become column names, and values are automatically escaped for SQL safety.

Does it handle SQL injection prevention?

Yes! The converter automatically escapes single quotes, backslashes, and special characters in string values to prevent SQL injection. All values are properly formatted for safe database insertion in MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and other databases.

What data types are supported?

The converter handles strings, numbers, booleans, and null values. Strings are quoted and escaped, numbers are unquoted, booleans convert to 1/0, and null becomes SQL NULL. Perfect for converting API responses or JSON tables to database records.

Can I convert large JSON files?

Yes! The converter handles large JSON arrays efficiently, generating individual INSERT statements for each object. For very large datasets (thousands of rows), consider using batch inserts or database-specific bulk import tools for better performance.

Does it work with all SQL databases?

Yes! The generated INSERT statements use standard SQL syntax compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, and other SQL databases. The value escaping follows SQL standard practices for maximum compatibility. Use our SQL Minifier to optimize the output.

Is the JSON to SQL converter free?

Yes, completely free with unlimited conversions! No registration, no hidden fees, and all processing happens in your browser for complete privacy. Your data never leaves your computer. Also check out our JSON to Table tool.
