Good to know

Nothing is uploaded

Formatting happens entirely in your browser.

Keywords are capitalized

Words like SELECT, FROM and WHERE are uppercased; your table and column names are left exactly as typed.

Works best on one query

This tool is built for a single SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement at a time, including simple subqueries.

Frequently asked questions

Does this change what my query does?

No. It only changes whitespace, line breaks and the capitalization of SQL keywords — the query's logic, table names and column names are untouched.

Which SQL dialect does it support?

It works on standard ANSI SQL syntax shared by MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite — common clauses like SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY and ORDER BY. Dialect-specific extensions are passed through unformatted rather than rejected.

Why didn't a nested subquery get indented?

Subqueries that start with SELECT are formatted and indented on their own. Other parenthesized expressions, like a list of values in an IN (...) clause, are kept on one line to stay compact.

Is my SQL uploaded anywhere?

No. Formatting runs locally in your browser.
