SQL Formatter Help
Format, beautify, and validate SQL queries with proper indentation and syntax highlighting. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and other SQL dialects.
How to Use
- Paste your SQL query into the text area
- Choose your formatting preferences (indentation, keyword case, etc.)
- Click "Format SQL"
- Copy or download your formatted SQL
Formatting Options
- Indentation: Choose between 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs
- Keyword Case: Format SQL keywords as UPPERCASE, lowercase, or preserve original
- Line Between Queries: Add blank lines between separate SQL statements
- Comma Position: Place commas at the start or end of lines
Example
Before (Unformatted):
SELECT u.id,u.name,u.email,o.order_id,o.total FROM users u INNER JOIN orders o ON u.id=o.user_id WHERE u.status='active' AND o.total>100 ORDER BY o.created_at DESC LIMIT 10;
After (Formatted):
SELECT
u.id,
u.name,
u.email,
o.order_id,
o.total
FROM users u
INNER JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE u.status = 'active'
AND o.total > 100
ORDER BY o.created_at DESC
LIMIT 10;
Supported SQL Statements
- SELECT queries with JOINs, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY
- INSERT statements with multiple values
- UPDATE queries with complex conditions
- DELETE statements
- CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE
- Subqueries and nested queries
- UNION and UNION ALL
Best Practices
- Use UPPERCASE for SQL keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc.)
- Use consistent indentation (4 spaces recommended)
- Put each column on a new line in SELECT statements
- Align JOIN conditions for readability
- Add comments to explain complex queries
- Use meaningful table and column aliases
Common Use Cases
- Clean up minified or compressed SQL queries
- Standardize SQL formatting across a team
- Make complex queries more readable for debugging
- Prepare queries for documentation
- Convert between different SQL style guides
💡 Pro Tip
Copy your formatted SQL directly from the output box, or download it as a .sql file for easy sharing and version control.
⚠️ Note
While this tool formats SQL syntax, it doesn't validate query logic. Always test your queries in a development environment before running in production.
