SQL Formatter

Description & Example

SQL formatting refers to the process of organizing and restructuring SQL queries so that they are easy to read and understand. Well-formatted SQL makes it simpler to identify the structure of the query, spot errors, and maintain or update the code later. This tool reformats your SQL queries by adding line breaks, proper indentation, and converting SQL keywords to uppercase.

Proper formatting is especially important when working with complex queries that may join multiple tables or include nested subqueries. It not only improves readability but also helps when sharing queries with colleagues or reviewing them during code audits.

For example, consider the following unformatted SQL query:

select * from users where id=1 and status='active';

When you run this query through the SQL Formatter, it is transformed into a more readable structure:

SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE id = 1
AND status = 'active';

This tool is useful for anyone who works with SQL—whether you are writing queries from scratch, debugging existing code, or preparing scripts for production. By standardizing the format, the tool helps reduce errors and ensures that your SQL code adheres to best practices.
