Easy Database Seeding: CSV to SQL
Migrating CSV to SQL
Importing data from Excel or CSV files into a SQL database can be painful. Oftentimes, GUI tools are too heavyweight for a quick 100-row seed.
The Manual INSERT Pain
Writing INSERT INTO my_table (a, b) VALUES (x, y); manually for more than 5 rows is agonizing.
The Solution
By using a CSV to SQL Converter, you simply copy-paste your spreadsheet data. The converter maps the first row to your table columns and wraps every subsequent row in properly formatted INSERT statements. This allows you to painlessly copy the script straight into your database terminal.
