Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting SQL to CSV with PDFPilot really free?

Yes. SQL to CSV is completely free to use, with no sign-up or account required.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using a real SQL parser. Your file is never uploaded to PDFPilot's servers.

What kind of SQL does this tool understand?

INSERT INTO table (columns) VALUES (...) statements specifically — the format a database export or seed script uses to represent data. SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and table-definition (CREATE TABLE) statements aren't read by this tool.

Does this require an explicit column list in the INSERT statement?

Yes — INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES (...), not the column-list-omitted form (INSERT INTO table VALUES (...)), since this tool has no other way to know what each value's column is.

What if my SQL file has INSERT statements for different tables or columns?

You'll get a clear error — every statement in the file must target the exact same column list, so the resulting CSV has one consistent set of columns.

Does this execute the SQL against a database?

No — nothing is executed anywhere. The SQL text is only parsed to extract the literal values it describes.
