How do I convert a SQL file to EDN?

Upload your .sql file or paste the SQL script into the converter. The tool parses CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, then outputs an EDN file. Each table becomes a vector of maps, with column names as keywords and rows as map values. Download the resulting .edn file and use it in Clojure or other EDN-supported environments.

Why convert SQL to EDN instead of keeping it in the database?

EDN is a native data format for Clojure and other Lisp languages. Converting SQL to EDN avoids runtime SQL dependencies, making data portable as plain text. It is especially useful for configuration files, offline data sharing, and embedding data in compiled applications. EDN also supports data types like sets and keywords that SQL lacks, enabling richer data structures.

How does the converter preserve SQL data types?

The converter maps SQL types to EDN equivalents: CHAR/VARCHAR/NVARCHAR to strings, INTEGER/BIGINT/DECIMAL to numbers, BOOLEAN to booleans, and NULL to nil. Date and timestamp columns are converted to ISO-8601 strings (or tagged literals if enabled). Blobs and binary data are base64-encoded. Column names become EDN keywords, and row order is preserved from the INSERT statements.

Is SQL-TO-EDN free to use?

Yes, SQL-TO-EDN on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! SQL-TO-EDN works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?
