Text to SQL IN List
Turn a list of items (newline or comma separated) into a SQL format set (e.g. ("a", "b")).
How Text to SQL IN List Works
Writing SQL IN (...) clauses by hand is tedious, especially when dealing with hundreds of IDs or strings. This tool automates the process.
Simply paste a column of data (from Excel, CSV, or a text file), and we'll wrap each item in quotes and separate them with commas, ready to drop into your WHERE id IN (...) query.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to add quotes manually?
No! The tool adds single quotes around every item by default. You can toggle this off if you are working with numeric IDs.
Does it handle empty lines?
Yes, empty lines and whitespace are automatically stripped out to ensure clean SQL output.
What about trailing commas?
The generator handles the comma placement perfectly, ensuring there is no trailing comma that would break your query.
