SQL to FetchXML Query Converter Guide

Convert standard relational SQL SELECT statements into Microsoft Dynamics 365, CRM, and Microsoft Dataverse FetchXML format. Simplify complex FetchXML XML construction by writing simple SQL.

✨ Key Capabilities

  • •Parses basic SQL SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, and ORDER BY clauses.
  • •Converts relational inner/left JOINs into nested FetchXML <link-entity> nodes.

💡Technical Deep-Dive & Detailed FAQ Guide

3 questions & detailed answers

Q1.Which SQL features are supported by the converter?

The converter supports SELECT fields, JOIN tables (as link-entity), WHERE clauses (with AND/OR filters), and ORDER BY statements. Complex aggregates and subqueries may require manual adjustment.

Q2.How does it translate SQL JOINs into FetchXML?

An SQL JOIN like "JOIN account ON contact.accountid = account.accountid" is converted to <link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="accountid" link-type="inner"> nested inside the main entity.

Q3.Can I run this utility offline?

Yes. The converter relies entirely on JavaScript executed locally in your browser, keeping your entity structures and query parameters confidential.
