Advanced Features
🎯 Data Type Inference
MockBlast automatically detects data types (integers, floats, dates, strings) and formats SQL appropriately. Numbers aren't quoted, dates are properly formatted.
🔒 SQL Injection Prevention
All string values are properly escaped to prevent SQL injection. Special characters, quotes, and control characters are handled safely.
📋 NULL Value Handling
Empty CSV cells are converted to SQL NULL values. You can configure whether to treat empty strings as NULL or empty strings.
⚡ Batch Size Control
For large CSV files, MockBlast can split INSERT statements into smaller batches (e.g., 1000 rows per statement) for better import performance.
Handling Special Cases
📅 Date & Time Formats
MockBlast recognizes common date formats:
2024-01-15 → DATE 2024-01-15 10:30:00 → DATETIME 10:30:00 → TIME
💡 Boolean Values
Converts boolean-like values:
true, TRUE, yes, 1 → true false, FALSE, no, 0 → false
🔢 Number Formats
Handles various number formats:
123 → INTEGER 123.45 → FLOAT $123.45 → 123.45 (currency) 1,234.56 → 1234.56 (comma)
✍️ Special Characters
Properly escapes all special characters:
O'Brien → 'O\'Brien' Line 1\nLine 2 → 'Line 1\nLine 2' Say "Hi" → 'Say \"Hi\"'
