What SQL formats are supported for input?

The converter handles SQL INSERT statements (INSERT INTO table VALUES ...), SELECT result sets pasted as tab-delimited text, and CREATE TABLE schemas for generating matching JSON structure.

How are NULL values handled?

SQL NULL values are converted to JSON null. JSON null values convert back to SQL NULL. Empty strings remain empty strings in both directions.

Can this convert a whole database export?

For large database exports, use your database's native JSON export feature (PostgreSQL's json_agg, MySQL's JSON_ARRAYAGG, etc.) or a purpose-built migration tool. This converter is designed for small to medium datasets.

What is SQL to JSON?

Converting SQL query results or table data into JSON is a common task when building APIs, migrating data, or integrating systems. DailyDevTools' SQL to JSON converter takes SQL INSERT statements, CREATE TABLE schemas, or tabular result sets and converts them into clean, structured JSON arrays — and converts JSON arrays back into SQL INSERT statements for seeding databases.
