Convert XLSX to MySQL

XLSX files are Excel files that use the Office Open XML format, which Microsoft introduced with Excel 2007.

Like XLS files, XLSX files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They offer several advantages over the older XLS format.

Key features of XLSX files include:

• Better compression, resulting in smaller file sizes
• Enhanced security features, including password protection and digital signatures
• Better recovery from file corruption
• Support for more rows (1,048,576) and columns (16,384) per sheet
• Works with a wide range of applications and programming languages

XLSX files are based on XML and ZIP technologies, making them easier for third-party software to read and write.

MySQL format typically refers to SQL dump files that contain database structure and data exported from MySQL database servers.

Technical Details

MySQL dump files contain SQL statements that recreate the database objects and insert data. They can include schema definitions, stored procedures, triggers, and table data.

Advantages

• Complete representation of database structure and data
• Human-readable and editable
• Can be selectively imported into MySQL instances
• Version control friendly

Limitations

• Specific to MySQL and may require adjustments for other databases
• Large dumps can be slow to import
• Not optimized for data analysis
• May contain sensitive information
