SQL to Lua Table — Before & After Example

Before (SQL Input)
CREATE TABLE my_table (
  id INTEGER,
  name VARCHAR(255),
  email VARCHAR(255),
  role VARCHAR(255),
  active BOOLEAN,
  score REAL,
  "address.city" VARCHAR(255),
  "address.country" VARCHAR(255)
);

INSERT INTO my_table (id, name, email, role, active, score, "address.city", "address.country") VALUES (1, 'Alice Johnson', 'alice@example.com', 'admin', TRUE, 98.5, 'Berlin', 'DE');
INSERT INTO my_table (id, name, email, role, active, score, "address.city", "address.country") VALUES (2, 'Bob Smith', 'bob@example.com', 'editor', FALSE, 87, 'Austin', 'US');
INSERT INTO my_table (id, name, email, role, active, score, "address.city", "address.country") VALUES (3, 'Chiara Rossi', 'chiara@example.com', 'viewer', TRUE, 91.25, 'Milan', 'IT');
After (Lua Table Output)
local data = {
  {
    id = 1,
    name = "Alice Johnson",
    email = "alice@example.com",
    role = "admin",
    active = true,
    score = 98.5,
    address = {
      city = "Berlin",
      country = "DE",
    },
  },
  {
    id = 2,
    name = "Bob Smith",
    email = "bob@example.com",
    role = "editor",
    active = false,
    score = 87,
    address = {
      city = "Austin",
      country = "US",
    },
  },
  {
    id = 3,
    name = "Chiara Rossi",
    email = "chiara@example.com",
    role = "viewer",
    active = true,
    score = 91.25,
    address = {
      city = "Milan",

Frequently Asked Questions: SQL to Lua Table

How do I convert SQL to Lua Table online without uploading sensitive files? ▾

Paste your SQL data or drag and drop a .sql file into the converter above. ZeroUpload parses SQL and serializes Lua Table 100% inside your browser RAM using local JavaScript—no bytes are ever sent to an external server.

How are nested objects or tabular columns mapped between SQL and Lua Table? ▾

When converting hierarchical structures (Relational table schema with batch INSERT tuples) and tabular or config formats (Nested associative/array tables { key = value }), our engine automatically flattens or unflattens dot-separated keys (such as address.city) and preserves numbers, booleans, arrays, and null values.

Is this SQL to Lua Table converter free for commercial and production config files? ▾

Yes. The tool is completely free, requires no account or API key, and works offline once loaded. Because execution happens in local memory, it is safe for proprietary SQL, database exports, and production secrets.

Can I convert Lua Table back to SQL? ▾

Yes! Click the "Swap (Lua Table → SQL)" button at the top of the workspace or use the reverse converter link at the bottom of this page for bidirectional conversion.
