What is an SQL formatter?
An SQL formatter makes SQL queries easier to read by adding indentation, line breaks, and consistent keyword styling.
It is useful for debugging queries, reviewing joins and filters, sharing SQL in tickets or pull requests, and cleaning up copied database statements.
How to use the SQL Formatter
- Paste your SQL query into the input field.
- Choose formatting options such as uppercase keywords, comma line breaks, and indentation size.
- Click Format to beautify the query or Minify to compress it.
- Copy the output and use it in your editor, docs, or database tool.
Tips
- Formatting does not change the logic of your SQL query.
- Uppercase keywords make long queries easier to scan.
- Breaking lines on commas helps with SELECT, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY lists.
- Minified SQL is useful when you need compact one-line output.
