Convert a Single JSON Object to INSERT

Convert a single JSON object (not wrapped in an array) into a SQL INSERT statement. The tool automatically wraps single objects into a one-row bulk format.

Basic INSERT

Detailed Explanation

Single Object Support

While the bulk INSERT tool is designed for arrays, it also handles single JSON objects gracefully. When you paste a lone object (not wrapped in [...]), the tool automatically wraps it in an array and generates a standard INSERT statement.

Example JSON

{
  "product_id": "SKU-001",
  "name": "Wireless Mouse",
  "price": 29.99,
  "in_stock": true,
  "category": "Electronics"
}

Generated SQL

INSERT INTO products ("product_id", "name", "price", "in_stock", "category")
VALUES
  ('SKU-001', 'Wireless Mouse', 29.99, TRUE, 'Electronics');

When to Use Single Objects

This is handy when you are testing your INSERT logic with a single record before processing a larger dataset. The tool validates the object structure, infers column types, and lets you configure all the same options (dialect, quoting, NULL handling) as with multi-row inserts.

Auto-Detection

The tool detects whether your input is an array or an object:

Input Behavior
[{...}, {...}] Multi-row INSERT
{...} Single-row INSERT (auto-wrapped)
[] Error: empty array
Non-object items Error: invalid element

This flexibility means you do not need to manually wrap your data in brackets.

Use Case

You are debugging a single record from an API response and want to quickly generate the INSERT statement to test it in your local development database before running a full import.
