Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy data from Excel?

Select the column in Excel, copy it (Ctrl+C), then paste it directly into the input area. Each cell value will appear on a separate line, which is exactly what this tool expects.

What's the difference between the output formats?

SQL IN Clause: Generates complete SQL like "IN ('value1', 'value2', 'value3')"
Values Only: Just the quoted values: "'value1', 'value2', 'value3'"
Comma-separated List: Simple list: "value1, value2, value3"

When should I use quotes around values?

Use single or double quotes for text/string values in SQL. Use "No Quotes" for numeric values or when you need the raw values for other purposes.

Can I handle large datasets?

Yes! The tool can efficiently process thousands of values. For very large datasets (10,000+ items), consider breaking them into smaller chunks for better performance.

What if my data contains special characters?

The tool handles Unicode characters and special symbols correctly. However, be aware that some characters might need escaping in your specific database system.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely! All processing happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device or gets transmitted to any server.
