Definition
An SQL Formatter is a developer utility that takes unformatted, messy, or minified SQL queries and automatically reorganizes them. It applies consistent indentation, adds line breaks, and optionally capitalizes SQL keywords, making the code vastly easier to read, understand, and debug.
Use Cases
Writing SQL in a single line is fine for machines, but terrible for humans.
The Mechanics
Our tool parses your SQL string and applies a series of formatting rules based on standard SQL conventions.
Keyword UppercasingAutomatically capitalizes standard SQL keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc.) to distinguish them from table and column names.
Clause IndentationAdds new lines and indents before major clauses to create a clear visual hierarchy.
Comma PlacementEnsures lists of columns are properly spaced and aligned for readability.
Capabilities
Your code is formatted in real-time as you type or paste it in.
Automatically standardizes SQL keywords to uppercase.
View your formatted SQL with color-coded syntax for ultimate readability.
Your database queries never leave your browser. They are not sent to any server.
Step-by-Step

The tool instantly parses the SQL and applies standard formatting rules in the right panel.
Check the output. Keywords will be capitalized and clauses properly indented.

FAQ
No. This tool only formats the text. It does not connect to any database or execute any queries.
If your application logs are filled with unreadable JSON alongside your SQL, use our JSON Formatter to make sense of them.
