What Is a SQL Formatter?

Long SQL queries are far easier to read when each clause sits on its own line. The formatter uppercases reserved words, inserts a line break before each major clause, and indents subselects and join conditions to surface the structure.

The rules are deliberately dialect-neutral: identifiers and string literals are untouched, only the keyword tokens are normalised. The result reads correctly across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, and SQLite — even if the specific style guide you follow indents subqueries or window functions differently. Useful for pasting a complex generated query into a code review or saving it to a migration file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What SQL dialects are supported?
The formatter targets standard SQL and works well with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server queries. Dialect-specific keywords still format correctly.
Does it validate SQL?
Formatting focuses on structure. For full validation use your database's EXPLAIN or a dedicated SQL validator.
Can I format stored procedures?
Yes, multi-statement SQL is formatted statement by statement. Complex nesting is indented.
