How to Use
- 1
Configure formatting options
Choose indentation size (2/4 spaces or tabs), keyword casing, JOIN indentation, and line break preferences before formatting.
- 2
Enter or upload SQL
Paste your SQL query in the input field or upload a .sql file. The formatter handles complex queries with subqueries, CTEs, and multiple statements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What SQL dialects are supported?
What SQL dialects are supported?
The formatter supports standard SQL syntax used by major databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and SQLite. It handles common statements like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, ALTER, and complex queries with JOINs, subqueries, CTEs, and window functions.
How does SQL formatting improve code quality?
How does SQL formatting improve code quality?
Consistent SQL formatting improves readability, makes queries easier to debug, helps identify logical errors, and ensures team consistency. Proper indentation reveals query structure, aligned keywords improve scanning, and consistent casing reduces cognitive load.
What's the difference between formatting and minifying?
What's the difference between formatting and minifying?
Formatting adds proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to make SQL human-readable. Minifying removes unnecessary whitespace to reduce file size while preserving functionality. Use formatting for development and debugging, minifying for production scripts where size matters.
Can the validator detect all SQL errors?
Can the validator detect all SQL errors?
Our validator performs basic syntax checking including bracket matching, quote pairing, and required clause detection. It catches common errors like missing FROM clauses or unmatched parentheses. However, it doesn't validate against specific database schemas or check semantic correctness.
