Client-Side SQL Formatter — How It Works

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. This tool reformats a SQL query with consistent capitalization, indentation, and line breaks for major clauses — making queries easier to read and review.

Example

-- before
SELECT id,name FROM users WHERE active=1 ORDER BY name

-- after
SELECT id,
       name
FROM users
WHERE active = 1
ORDER BY name

Why format SQL

  • Readability — long queries with many joins and conditions are much easier to scan when each clause starts on its own line.
  • Code review — consistent formatting makes diffs between query versions cleaner.
