Comprehensive Guide & Technical Mechanics

About SQL Formatter — Free Online Tool

SQL Formatter lays a query out across lines with its clauses aligned and keywords capitalised, for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and Oracle.

The query is tokenised and reassembled with each major clause on its own line and subqueries indented inside their parent. Only whitespace and keyword case change, so the statement that comes out runs exactly like the one that went in — formatting cannot alter what a query does, which is what makes it safe to run on something before you understand it.

Formatting happens in the page. A query against production tables, with real identifiers and literal values in it, is never uploaded.

Making an inherited 200-line query readable, reviewing a join before it goes near production, tidying generated SQL from an ORM log, and comparing two versions of a statement.
