Common mistakes
The input is not an INSERT INTO ... VALUES statement.
Fix: Use the tool with the statement format it supports best.
Quoted values or commas inside rows are malformed.
Fix: Clean the SQL input first if the row syntax is broken.
The user expects support for SELECT query result parsing.
Fix: Use a different tool if your source is query output rather than INSERT statements.
