SQL-to-CSV checks before exporting query or INSERT data
Converting SQL values into rows is useful only when database types, nulls, escaping, and column order survive the transformation.
Column alignment
Confirm the INSERT column list or query output order matches every value tuple before generating the CSV header.
NULL and empty text
Keep SQL NULL distinct from an empty string and from the literal text NULL when the destination needs that distinction.
Escaped values
Inspect quoted strings, embedded delimiters, apostrophes, backslashes, newlines, and database-specific escape syntax.
Type preservation
Review dates, decimals, booleans, large numbers, and leading-zero identifiers before a spreadsheet coerces them.
