How do I convert SQL to YAML using LetsConvert?

Go to the SQL to YAML converter page, paste your SQL dump or upload a .sql file, then click Convert. The tool parses CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, maps each table to a YAML mapping, and preserves data types. Download the resulting .yaml file immediately.

Why should I convert SQL to YAML?

SQL is a query language for relational databases, while YAML is a human-readable data serialization format. Converting SQL to YAML is useful when you need a configuration file, fixture data for tests, or a lightweight data exchange format that can be read by any language. YAML also reduces clutter by using indentation instead of SQL keywords.

How does the converter handle SQL data types and NULL values?

VARCHAR and TEXT become YAML strings, INT and DECIMAL become numbers, and DATETIME is converted to ISO 8601 strings. NULL values are mapped to YAML nulls. Primary and foreign keys are preserved as keys and nested mappings, but database-specific constraints like triggers and stored procedures are not included in the output.

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