Frequently asked questions

What if my INSERT statements have no column list?

If the SQL also contains the CREATE TABLE statement, its column names are used. Otherwise columns are named column1, column2 and so on.

What happens with several tables?

A dump with INSERTs into more than one table becomes a JSON object with one array of records per table name.
