What are the steps to convert a SQL file to TSV?

Upload your SQL file or paste it into the converter, select TSV as the target format, and click Convert. The tool parses the SQL dump, extracts column names and row values from INSERT statements, and generates a TSV file with tab-separated columns. Download the result and open it in Excel, Sheets, or your data pipeline.

Why convert from SQL to TSV instead of using the SQL dump directly?

SQL dumps are heavy, schema-specific files meant for restoring databases. TSV is a lightweight, universally accepted plain-text table format. Converting lets you move data into spreadsheets, pandas, or R without database engines, simplifies version control diffing, and often results in a smaller file when you only need the table content.

How does the conversion handle SQL data types, NULLs, and special characters?

The converter reads only the data rows and maps each SQL column to a TSV column. NULLs are rendered as empty fields; string values containing tabs, newlines, or backslashes are escaped using standard TSV rules. SQL data types such as INT, TEXT, BOOLEAN, or DATE are output as their literal text representation, so type information from the original schema is not preserved in the TSV file itself.
