SQL Formatter: Beautify Your SQL Queries

Format messy SQL queries into clean, readable, properly indented code. Supports SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and CREATE statements.

What It Does

The SQL Formatter takes unformatted or messy SQL code and transforms it into clean, properly indented, and consistently styled SQL. It handles all major SQL statement types and formats subqueries, JOIN clauses, and WHERE conditions with proper indentation.

How to Use It

Paste your messy SQL into the input editor. Click Format to transform it into clean, indented SQL. Adjust indentation style and keyword casing preferences. Copy the formatted output to use in your project.

Tips & Tricks

Use uppercase for SQL keywords and lowercase for column and table names as a widely accepted convention. Format queries before code review to make them easier to read and review. Keep SELECT column lists and WHERE conditions on separate lines for complex queries.

Use Cases

Database developers clean up auto-generated SQL for readability. Code reviewers ask authors to format SQL before submitting pull requests. DBAs format stored procedures and complex queries for documentation and archiving.
