Database Migration: How to Translate Data in SQL INSERT Statements?

Core Issue Diagnosis

When deploying a CMS or application to a new language environment, it is necessary to translate basic data in the database—such as configuration item names and initial articles—while strictly maintaining SQL syntax integrity.

Root Cause Analysis

SQL Syntax Tree Parsing

Shangyi AI can identify standard SQL syntax structures. For statements like `INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) VALUES ('text', 123);`, the system translates only the strings within quotation marks, such as `'text'`, while rigorously preserving table names, field names, and numeric values.

Secure handling of escape characters

Single quotes `'` in SQL are highly sensitive. When generating translations, AI automatically detects and properly handles escape characters (such as converting `'` in the translation to `'` or `''`), preventing syntax errors during import.

Streaming processing for large files

Database dump files are often massive (GB scale). Shangyi AI employs streaming reading technology, enabling line-by-line processing and real-time write-back without loading the entire file into memory, providing robust support for extremely large SQL scripts.

Final Solution Summary

No need to write complex ETL scripts—instantly obtain multilingual SQL files ready for production import.
