What is SQL Formatter?
Paste compact or messy SQL and make common clauses easier to read without sending the query anywhere.
How to format SQL
Readable SQL
The formatter normalizes whitespace, uppercases common keywords, and places major clauses on their own lines.
Format or minify
- Use format mode when reading or sharing a query.
- Use minify mode when you only need normalized single-line SQL.
- Review important queries before running them in production.
Scope
This is a lightweight formatter for common SQL. It is not a full database-specific parser.
SQL formatting notes
The formatter improves readability for common clauses and quoted strings, but it does not parse every dialect or execute the query.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it execute SQL?
No. It only formats text in the browser.
Will it support every SQL dialect?
No. It targets common SQL readability, not complete dialect validation.
Are strings preserved?
Whitespace inside quoted strings is preserved while surrounding SQL is normalized.
Are quoted strings changed?
No. Whitespace normalization, keyword casing, and line breaks are applied outside quoted strings only.
