Formatted SQL
Frequently asked questions
What does an SQL formatter do?
It reformats SQL with consistent indentation and line breaks so a dense or messy query becomes readable. The logic of the query is unchanged, only its layout.
Does formatting change what my query does?
No. Formatting only adjusts whitespace, indentation and keyword casing, leaving the query logic and results identical. It is purely cosmetic.
Can I choose the SQL dialect?
Yes. The formatter supports selecting a dialect so it can apply the conventions and keywords appropriate to your database. This improves how dialect-specific syntax is laid out.
What is the keyword-case option?
It lets you standardise SQL keywords to uppercase or lowercase, for example turning select into SELECT. Consistent casing makes queries easier to scan.
Is my SQL sent to a server?
No. Formatting is done in your browser with a bundled formatter, so your query is never uploaded. It stays private on your device.
Does it run or validate my query against a database?
No. It only reformats the text and does not connect to any database or execute the query. It cannot tell you whether the query returns correct results.
Why is my formatted query still hard to read?
Extremely long or deeply nested queries can remain complex even when neatly indented, since formatting cannot simplify the underlying logic. Breaking the query into parts may help.
