SQL WHERE builder

Turn simple condition rows into a parameterized WHERE draft.

Inputs stay in your browser. Outputs placeholders and params and does not execute SQL.

Output is a parameterized WHERE draft; it is not executed and does not replace authorization checks.

How to use this tool

Turn simple condition rows into a parameterized WHERE draft.

Enter one field, operator, and value per line to generate a parameterized SQL WHERE clause and parameter list. Conditions join with AND; nested groups are not supported.

💡 3 Quick Steps to Get Started

1. Enter One Condition per Line

For example: status = active or name contains Ada. Supported operators: =, !=, >, <, >=, <=, contains, starts_with, ends_with.

2. Select Database Dialect

Choose the dialect for $1 or ? placeholders. Every condition joins with AND.

3. Copy Clause and Parameters

Bind the WHERE clause and parameter list through your database driver; do not replace placeholders by concatenating strings.

When it helps

Useful for support queries, internal tools, and data-filter drafts.

How it works

Outputs placeholders and params and does not execute SQL.

Worked example

Example: status = active becomes WHERE status = $1.

Limits and data handling

Only simple AND conditions are covered; review database dialect, allowed columns, and value types.

No. The SQL WHERE builder runs in the browser. Do not paste production secrets or unredacted personal data.

Workflow and limits

For example: status = active or name contains Ada. Supported operators: =, !=, >, <, >=, <=, contains, starts_with, ends_with.

Choose the dialect for $1 or ? placeholders. Every condition joins with AND.

Bind the WHERE clause and parameter list through your database driver; do not replace placeholders by concatenating strings.

OR, IN, BETWEEN, and IS NULL are not supported. NULL is treated as a literal string parameter, not automatically converted into a null check.

Field names are validated and values are parameterized. Check schema, permissions, and query semantics; this is not a complete SQL security review.
