Generating insert statements from an sqlite table

Question

Is there any tool or script available?

Answer 1

DB Browser for SQLite supports SQL generation.

• Go to File
• Select Export
• Click to Database to SQL file...
• A popup screen will be shown.
• There you can choose export options and click OK
• It'll prompt for a location to save generated sql file.

I hope it'll help the others :)

Answer 2

As a quick work around for fewer column tables. We can use string concatenation function. Sample example is- select 'insert into TABLE_NAME values('''|| COLUMN1 || ''',''' || COLUMN2 || ''',''' || COLUMN3 || ''',''' || COLUMN4 || ''');' from TABLE_NAME

Answer 3

I think what you're looking for is:

sqlite x.db .dump > output.sql

This will dump the SQL to regenerate a database

Answer 4

If you use the Sqlite manager firefox plugin, it supports bulk inserts from INSERT SQL statements.

Infact it doesn't support this, but Sqlite Browser does (works on Windows, OS X, Linux)

Answer 5

To generate output into a file follow these steps:

$ sqlite3 mytable.db

sqlite> .output output.sql

sqlite> .dump table_name

sqlite> .quit
