No. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate are two different compounds.
A nitrate ion and nitrite ion have the same charge of -1. The difference between the two ions is that nitrates formula is NO3 while nitrites formula is NO2.
If you mean NaNO2 than its name is Sodium Nitrite, commonly used in the curing and preservation of meats and fishSodium Nitrite
potassium nitrite
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
Nitrate- NO3-1 Nitrite- NO2-1 Nitrite has one less oxygen
Chemical formulas: NO2 is Nitrite NO3 is Nitrate

No. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate are two different compounds.
this is because nitrate reductase test using the production of nitrite from nitrate as a measure of nitrate reductase activity
Nitrite ions can form nitrate ions by reacting with oxidizing agents such as the oxygen in air.
Ammonia nitrate is used as fertilizer; ammonium nitrite is only a contaminant.

sodium nitrate ----> sodium nitrite + oxygen
potassium nitrite
