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.
