SQL converter
Rewrite quoting, escaping, row limits and function names between 16 dialects, with a list of what it refused to guess at.
SQLite query
MySQL query
What it changed
current timestampNOW()1 place
What you still need to do
Anything left in this list was recognised and left as it was on purpose. A function renamed to one that takes its arguments in a different order produces SQL that runs and returns the wrong rows, which is worse than SQL that fails.
Converting SQLite to MySQL: Key Syntax Differences
Translating SQL queries between SQLite and MySQL involves subtle dialect differences that standard text find-and-replace often misses. Everything below is processed entirely in your browser using SQLParity.
Identifier Quoting
SQLite: "name"
MySQL: `name`
String Literal Escaping
SQLite: Quotes are doubled (''), backslash is literal.
MySQL: Quotes are doubled (''), backslash is an escape character.
Null-Safe Equality
MySQL: NOT (colA <=> colB)
Why In-Browser SQL Conversion Matters
Database migrations frequently involve proprietary business logic, sensitive table schemas, and production column names. When converting SQL between SQLite and MySQL, SQLParity executes all parsing, tokenization, and code rewriting locally in your browser. Zero queries or schemas are transmitted to remote servers.
