I am a full stack dev but randomly got interested in SQL. Something about combining queries felt like an interesting challenge, like piecing together a puzzle. Then I thought, why not make a tool which uses SQL somehow. At that time I did not know what tool to make or what my tool should do. Later I discovered, a converter can be handy. It is not life changing, ground breaking tool that will blow someone's mind. I am a fan of little utility tools which make small mundane tasks easy on a daily basis. So I built one as such. Is it useful for a lot of people in a large scale? Only time will tell I guess...
(I will keep adding more complex features, just to see how far this project can go)
If you have any feedback on these tools or want to check them out:
https://sqltoolkit.dev/json-to-sql
May sound very simple but looked really cool to me that json can be converted to an sql insertion query.
https://sqltoolkit.dev/csv-to-sql
This idea I got from my seeing my project managers. They have a massive CSV file and want to import that into some database (I know every major platform has easy import for CSVs, but still, wanted to build it)
Update: this little side project grew way more than I expected when I wrote this. It's now a full SQL Toolkit (https://sqltoolkit.dev) with a bunch more free tools - the original SQL formatter/beautifier, plus SQL to JSON, SQL to CSV, Excel to SQL, a schema doc generator, and a migration risk analyzer. Still no signup, still runs entirely in your browser. Would love feedback if you try it out.
