SQL Formatter
Format and beautify SQL queries with customizable styling options.
About This Tool
SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to communicate with databases. Properly formatted SQL is easier to read, debug, and maintain. This tool helps you format messy SQL queries into a clean, consistent style.
Common Use Cases
- Cleaning up auto-generated SQL from ORMs
- Formatting queries for code reviews
- Preparing SQL for documentation
- Debugging complex queries
- Standardizing SQL coding style
Examples
Before:
select id,name,email from users where status='active' and created_at>'2024-01-01' order by name
After:
SELECT
id,
name,
email
FROM users
WHERE status = 'active'
AND created_at > '2024-01-01'
ORDER BY name
Notes & Limitations
- This is a basic formatter; complex nested queries may need manual adjustment
- String literals and quoted identifiers are preserved
- Comments are preserved but may affect formatting
- Works with standard SQL; dialect-specific syntax may vary
Privacy Note
All SQL formatting happens client-side in your browser. Your queries are never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
