What does the SQL Formatter do?

The formatter places each major clause (SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, LIMIT) on its own line, indents column lists one per line, moves AND/OR conditions onto new lines, and indents subqueries. Strings, quoted identifiers and comments are left untouched.

It works with common dialects including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite for typical SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements.

How to use the SQL Formatter

  1. Paste your SQL.
  2. Choose indentation and keyword case.
  3. Copy or download the formatted query.

Examples

Report query

A one-line SELECT with joins, filters and grouping becomes a clearly structured query that is easy to review.
