Frequently Asked Questions
What SQL statements are supported?
The converter supports INSERT statements (including multi-value inserts), CREATE TABLE statements with column definitions, and SELECT statements including WHERE clauses and ORDER BY clauses. Each type can be converted to appropriately structured YAML.
How are data types handled?
The converter automatically detects and preserves data types. Numbers remain as numbers, strings are properly quoted when needed, booleans are converted to true/false, and NULL values are preserved. Dates and timestamps are preserved as strings in their original format.
What are the output format options?
You can choose between array-style output (using YAML sequences with dashes) or numbered records. Table names can be included or excluded, and you can enable pretty printing for better readability. SQL comments can also be preserved and converted to YAML comments.
Can I process multiple statements at once?
Yes, the converter can handle multiple SQL statements in a single input. Each statement is processed separately and converted to appropriate YAML structure while maintaining the logical separation between different data sets or schema definitions.

INSERT Statement:
SQL:
INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (1, 'John');
YAML:
