What Excel to MySQL converter?
Excel to SQL converter is an online tool that converts Excel data to MySQL. It translates data from an Excel spreadsheet into SQL (Structured Query Language) statements that can be used to create tables or populate databases.
How it works
Here are the steps on how an Excel to SQL converter functions.
1. Parse Excel Data: The converter reads the contents of an Excel file, usually using a library or programming language that supports Excel file manipulation. For this tool, we have used the SheetJS library.
2. MapExcel Columns to Database Tables/Fields: Users might define mappings between the columns in the Excel sheet and the tables/fields in the SQL database. For instance, they might specify that column A in the Excel sheet corresponds to the “Name” field in the “Customers” table.
3. Generate SQL Statements: Based on these mappings, the converter generates MySQL statements. For creating tables, it might generate CREATE TABLE statements specifying the table name and columns with their respective data types. For data insertion, it generates INSERT INTO statements with the values from the Excel sheet.
4. SQL Output: Once the tool has converted Excel to MySQL the output is displayed in the preformatted area. You can copy it using the one-click copy button or download it as a MySQL file.
