How do I convert SQL to CSV?

Run your SQL query to get tabular results, then export as CSV using your database client (e.g., MySQL Workbench, pgAdmin) or use our online tool: paste your SQL dump, click Convert, and download the resulting CSV file. For large databases, use the batch option to split tables into individual CSV files.

What happens to data types, NULLs, and relationships during SQL to CSV conversion?

Each table row becomes a CSV line. Data types are represented as plain text: dates retain their display format, numbers lose trailing zeros, and NULLs become empty fields. Primary/foreign keys and constraints are not stored in CSV, so relationships must be recreated in the target app.
