About this tool

Why Format SQL?

Formatted SQL is dramatically easier to read, debug, and review. A long single-line SELECT with multiple joins is impenetrable; the same query with each clause on its own line, properly indented, makes the data flow obvious. This is critical for code review and onboarding new developers.

Supported Dialects

Does this tool execute SQL?

No. It only formats the syntax — it does not connect to any database.

Should keywords be uppercase or lowercase?

UPPERCASE is the traditional convention and aids visual parsing. Some modern style guides prefer lowercase. Both are valid — pick one and stay consistent.
