Pro Tips
- •Works with a single INSERT statement with many VALUES tuples, or multiple separate INSERT statements for the same table
- •Escaped single quotes ('') inside string values are automatically unescaped before rendering
- •Choose 'Modern' style for contemporary designs with gradient headers, or 'Basic' for a lightweight embed
- •Enable responsive mode for mobile-friendly tables that scroll horizontally on small screens
- •Disable 'Include CSS' if you're embedding the table into a page with its own stylesheet

Most users keep the Modern style with responsive mode enabled for the best visual appearance
When to Use This Tool
Turn data extracted from a SQL dump's INSERT statements directly into an HTML table for embedding in a report, internal dashboard, or documentation page.
Quickly visualize the actual data inside a large .sql backup or seed file by rendering its INSERT statements as a readable HTML table.
Generate standalone HTML tables from database seed data for email newsletters, static reports, or archived snapshots that don't need a live database connection.
Convert raw SQL INSERT statements into a styled, easy-to-read HTML table for stakeholders who don't want to parse SQL directly.
How It Works
Split the SQL input into individual statements, respecting semicolons inside quoted strings
Filter to statements starting with INSERT INTO, and parse each one's table name, optional column list, and VALUES section
Extract each parenthesized VALUES tuple, correctly handling nested parentheses and commas inside quoted string values
Parse each value and escape HTML special characters for safe rendering
Generate a semantic HTML table with thead/tbody, apply the selected CSS styling, and add a responsive wrapper if enabled

Frequently Asked Questions
What SQL syntax does this tool support?
It parses standard INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES (...), (...); statements, including statements without an explicit column list. It focuses on extracting data, not schema - CREATE TABLE statements and other SQL are ignored.
Can I convert multiple INSERT statements at once?
Yes. Paste any number of INSERT statements - whether they're multiple separate statements or one statement with many VALUES tuples - and all their rows are combined into a single HTML table.
What happens if column names aren't specified in the SQL?
If an INSERT statement doesn't list column names (e.g., INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'x')), generic headers like column1, column2 are generated based on the widest row.
Can I use the generated HTML on my website?
Yes! The output is standard, semantic HTML that works on any website. Copy it directly into your HTML files or CMS, and customize or replace the included CSS as needed.
How are special characters and NULL values handled?
Values are HTML-escaped (so <, >, &, and quotes render safely instead of breaking the page), and NULL values become empty cells in the table.
