How do I convert a SQL database to XML using your tool?

Upload your .sql file or paste the SQL code into the input box. The converter parses CREATE TABLE statements and INSERT data, then generates a structured XML document. You can configure root element naming and how null values are handled, then click 'Convert' to download the XML file.

Why should I convert SQL to XML instead of keeping it in a database?

XML is a platform-independent format that can be consumed by REST APIs, mobile apps, and legacy systems without a database engine. It also lets you exchange only a subset of data (like specific rows or columns) while retaining the schema in an XSD, which is useful for B2B data interchange and validation.

How does the converter handle SQL data types, primary keys, and relationships?

The converter maps SQL data types to XML Schema (XSD) data types—for example, INT becomes xs:integer, VARCHAR becomes xs:string, and DATETIME becomes xs:dateTime. Primary keys are preserved as attributes in the root element of each record, and foreign-key relationships are represented as nested elements to keep referential integrity intact.

Is SQL-TO-XML free to use?

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

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

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

Is there any software installation required?
