How to Format a List for SQL IN (...) Queries in Seconds

The Problem: A List of 200 IDs and a Looming SQL Query

You have a spreadsheet column or a list of 50 customer emails or UUIDs from a support ticket, and you need to query their records in SQL:

-- What you have:
user_102
user_245
user_891

-- What SQL requires:
SELECT * FROM users 
WHERE user_id IN ('user_102', 'user_245', 'user_891');

Manually wrapping each line in single quotes and adding commas is slow, tedious, and prone to syntax typos.

The Fast Solution: 1-Click SQL Preset

Using the Delimiters.co SQL Preset:

1. Paste your column of values directly into the input editor.
2. Click the SQL IN ('...') preset button.
3. The tool automatically trims whitespace, wraps each element in single quotes, and separates them with a comma and space.
4. Click Copy and paste directly into your database client (DataGrip, DBeaver, TablePlus, or pgAdmin).

Handling Massive Lists

For large batches with thousands of items, the built-in deduplication toggle automatically filters out duplicates before you execute the query, keeping your SQL query size lightweight and blazing fast.
