How the conversion works

Paste your SQL Insert on the left and press Convert. The tool first parses the SQL Insert (tokenizing each INSERT INTO statement and decoding quoted strings, NULLs and numbers) into an internal table of rows and columns, then writes it out as Markdown Table (rendering header, separator and data rows with escaped pipes). If the input cannot be parsed you get a plain-English error instead of a broken file.

Where this comes in handy

People reach for this converter when migrating database dumps or seed data and a Markdown table is needed for docs or wikis. Because everything runs locally in your browser, it is also handy for quick one-off migrations without installing database tools or writing throwaway scripts.

SQL to MD Table FAQs

How are quoted strings and NULL handled?
Single-quoted strings with '' escapes, double-quoted identifiers, TRUE/FALSE and NULL are all understood, and numbers stay numeric in the output.
Does it support INSERTs from mysqldump?
Yes. Standard mysqldump INSERT INTO ... VALUES tuples parse fine. Trailing clauses like ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE are skipped once the values are read.
Does it include the separator row?
Yes. A --- separator line is generated under the header, which is required for the table to render.
Where can I use the Markdown table?
GitHub READMEs, wikis, Notion, Obsidian and most Markdown renderers display it immediately.
Is there a size limit?
No hard limit, but very large pastes (tens of megabytes) can slow down the browser tab. For huge inputs, split them into smaller chunks.
