SQL IN Clause Generator
Paste a list of values, one per line, and instantly build a SQL IN (...) clause with optional quoting and a column name — runs 100% in your browser with no upload.

Turn a list into a SQL IN clause
Copy a column of values out of a spreadsheet, a log file, or a text document, paste them one per line, and this tool assembles a ready-to-run IN (...) clause you can drop straight into a WHERE statement. Blank lines are ignored and every value is trimmed of surrounding whitespace, so messy pasted data still produces a clean, comma-separated list. The output updates live as you type and copies with one click.
Quoting, escaping, and column names
Toggle Quote values on for text columns and each value is wrapped in single quotes; leave it off for numeric columns to emit bare numbers like IN (1, 2, 3). Single quotes inside a value are safely escaped by doubling them, so O'Brien becomes 'O''Brien' instead of breaking your query. Add an optional column name to get a complete predicate such as status IN ('active', 'pending').
Frequently asked questions
Is my list of values uploaded anywhere?
No. The clause is built entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your values never leave your device and nothing is sent to a server, so even sensitive IDs or emails stay private.
How are single quotes inside a value handled?
When quoting is on, any single quote inside a value is escaped by doubling it, following standard SQL string rules. For example O'Brien is output as 'O''Brien', which is safe to paste into most SQL databases.
Should I quote values for numeric columns?
No. Turn off Quote values so numbers are emitted bare, like IN (1, 2, 3). Turn it on only for string, date, or other text columns that require single quotes.
