Yes, this works.

Perhaps the table needs to be processed before it is passed to
orgtbl-to-sqlinsert? 

  Note that =orgtbl-to-sqlinsert= takes advantage of org-mode's applying
  the formatting to each cell /before/ checking for a line-formatting
  function.  The header line itself and sectioning line are suppressed
  with the settings

  : :hlfmt (lambda (lst) (setq firstheader nil))
  : :hline nil
  : :remove-nil-lines t

I don't fully understand what this means, but it appears to address the
table header.

All the best,
Tom
