CSV to SQLite Converter
CSV to SQLite Converter allows you to convert your csv (comma-separated value) files to SQLite database (.DB).
SQlite is a relational database management system.
SQLite is a popular choice as embedded database for local/client storage in application software such as web browsers. It is arguably the most widely deployed database engine, as it is used today by several widespread browsers, operating systems, and embedded systems, among others.
On the 'Options' tab you can define a delimiter, such as TAB, semicolon etc.
This program could be very helpful for everyone who need to transfer your data from CSV to iOS, OSX, WEB, etc.
The first tab allows you to select source files. You can select for conversion one or several files.
Double-click on a file displays a Preview window.
If your files contain non-latin characters then you have to choose a correct charset.
Command line parameter:
-incharset="Cyrillic (Windows)"
In the command line you have to use an exact phrase.
The second tab allows you to select the output folder or file.
If you selected a folder or checked the option
[x] Create a separate file for each source file
then every source file(table) will be converted to a separate output file.
i.e.
| filename.csv | >> | filename.db |
| another.csv | >> | another.db |
If you selected a file then a content of all source files will be converted to this file.
Command line parameters are:
| -output=/users/myname/tmp/ |
| -separate=1, -separate=0 |
Besides, you can define the program's behaviour what is necessary to do when an output file already exists.
Command line parameters are:
| -files=overwrite | Overwrite existing files |
| -files=use | Use existing files (append to the end) |
| -files=skip | Skip (do not convert a source file) |
| -files=unique | Create an unique name. example.db, example.1.db, example.2.db, ... |
| -files=ask | Ask for action for each file |
You can define the program's behaviour what is necessary to do when an output table already exists.
Command line parameters are:
| -tables=overwrite | Overwrite existing tables |
| -tables=use | Use existing tables (append to the end) |
| -tables=skip | Skip (do not convert this source file/table) |
| -tables=unique | Create an unique table name. table, table1, table2, ... |
| -tables=ask | Ask for action for each table |
The last tab allows you to customize the output file.

If the converter does not have enough parameters or some error occurs then
the batch process will be interrupted and the converter displays main window to resolve the problem.
After successful conversion you will see a list of output files.
