What Convert TSV to SQL can do:

It turns tab-separated values into structured SQL commands. You can auto-generate a CREATE TABLE definition and then follow it with INSERT statements for every data row. It quotes strings when needed, escapes apostrophes, and works completely in the browser. You can also expand the output view, bring in data from local .tsv or .txt files, and export the generated SQL.

Example:

Input:

id	name	age
1	Alice	30
2	Bob	25

Output:

CREATE TABLE my_table (
  `id` TEXT,
  `name` TEXT,
  `age` TEXT
);

INSERT INTO my_table (id, name, age) VALUES ('1', 'Alice', '30');
INSERT INTO my_table (id, name, age) VALUES ('2', 'Bob', '25');

Common Use Cases:

Perfect when you’re working with TSV exports and need to import them into a SQL database fast. It’s handy for developers, analysts, and anyone needing to bulk-import data into a relational schema without touching a database client.
