FRM to SQL Conversion

Learn how to convert MySQL FRM files to SQL statement sequences by using either internal or third-party FRM to SQL converter software. If you want to convert FRM to SQL, please remember that it is only a structure! Use backup for saving and restoring SQL content.

FRM to SQL converter allows making a MySQL file from a structured FRM file. This operation often allows creating a SQL-based command sequence recreating a table of some structure predefined in a FRM file, but cannot fill a SQL database with data. For the latter option, please use MySQL backup and recovery.

What FRM to SQL Converter Must Do?

A FRM file is a binary file, while a SQL file is a text file containing the MySQL command sequence. Therefore, FRM to SQL conversion means primarily decoding a FRM structure file, and then converting FRM to SQL by writing appropriate text commands into a SQL text file.

How to Convert FRM to SQL

MySQL server itself can convert FRM to SQL by taking some actions. You can merge all these actions into a batch file or a script, or just download a prepared script from the Internet (if, of course, you trust the source of this script file).

• After converting FRM to SQL, you can upload database content from an appropriate MYI file, which contains a MySQL internal backup. By this sequence, you can not only convert FRM to SQL but also make a complete database recovery.
