How to Import Excel to MySQL or MariaDB Database

Microsoft Excel's spreadsheet format is immensely popular for several reasons. Firstly, it is a widely used tool in organizations of all sizes, making it a familiar resource for various data-related tasks, including data entry, analysis, and reporting. Furthermore, Excel offers a plethora of data validation and formatting functions, ensuring data consistency and accuracy. In many practical scenarios, importing data from Excel spreadsheets into databases is the default choice.
