How are column types inferred?

Per-column heuristic: all-integer → INTEGER, all-numeric → DECIMAL, all-boolean → BOOLEAN, short strings → VARCHAR(255), longer → TEXT.

How does it handle commas, quotes, and newlines inside values?

The parser follows RFC 4180 CSV rules — fields containing commas or newlines are wrapped in double quotes, and quotes inside values are escaped by doubling them.

Can I set the table and schema name?

Yes, there's a Table Name field you can edit before generating. The output uses the name you provide in both the optional CREATE TABLE and all INSERT statements.

What is CSV to SQL?

Each cell value is quoted appropriately — numbers stay unquoted, NULL handled, booleans recognized. Identifier escaping follows the chosen dialect (backticks for MySQL, double-quotes for Postgres, brackets for MSSQL).
