What is a SQL Formatter?

A SQL formatter (beautifier) re-indents and structures SQL queries for readability by placing major clauses on new lines and adding consistent indentation. It supports all standard SQL clauses: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, UNION, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and more. The minify mode removes all unnecessary whitespace for compact SQL storage.

How to Use the SQL Formatter

  1. Paste your SQL into the input field.
  2. Choose Beautify or Minify.
  3. Click Format or press Ctrl+Enter.
  4. Open Advanced to set indent size and toggle keyword uppercasing.
  5. Click Copy to copy the formatted SQL.

When to Use This Tool

Use for debugging complex queries, preparing SQL for documentation or code review, formatting generated or minified SQL, or normalizing mixed-case queries. For JSON data queries, see the JSON Formatter. For regex-based text processing, try the Regex Tester.
