What is SQL to HTML Converter?

Showing SQL data inside a web page or documentation often means manually converting INSERT rows to an HTML table. This tool automates that. It parses INSERT statements with a real SQL tokenizer (the same one used for SQL to JSON) and produces a clean `<table>` with the column list as the header row and one `<tr>` per inserted row.

The output is HTML-safe: every value is escaped, numbers and booleans are rendered inside `<code>` for visual distinction, and `NULL` becomes an `<em>NULL</em>`. An optional inline `<style>` block gives a neutral, readable look — useful for documentation and quick demos. Strip it for production and target the configurable table class with your own stylesheet.

How to Use SQL to HTML Converter

1

Paste one or more SQL INSERT statements.

2

Set the table CSS class for styling hooks.

3

Toggle the table-name caption and inline styles.

4

Copy the HTML and embed it in your page.

Common Use Cases

  • Embedding sample data tables in technical documentation.
  • Generating an HTML preview of a SQL export.
  • Producing report tables from a daily INSERT dump.
  • Quickly visualizing a SQL fixture before importing.

Example Input and Output

A SQL INSERT generates an HTML table with caption and header row.

SQL input
INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (1, 'Alice'), (2, 'Bob');
HTML output
<table class="sql-table"><caption>users</caption><thead><tr><th>id</th><th>name</th></tr></thead><tbody>...</tbody></table>

Privacy

All parsing happens in your browser. No SQL is sent to a server.

Styling

For production use, disable the inline <style> block and target the configurable table class from your own stylesheet. The default styles are sized for documentation, not production layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HTML special characters escaped?

Yes. Every value passes through HTML escaping, so JSON or HTML inside your SQL strings cannot break the output or introduce XSS.

How is NULL rendered?

NULL becomes <em>NULL</em> in italics. A literal string "NULL" stays as text.

Does this support SELECT result output?

Only INSERT statements. Most database clients can save SELECT results as INSERT statements.

Does this send my SQL anywhere?

No. All parsing happens locally in your browser.
