SQL Formatter

A SQL formatter reformats a query so each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY) starts on its own line and the SELECT column list is indented — the standard readable layout used in most style guides, without altering the query’s meaning. Because SQL keyword casing does not affect how a database executes a query, this formatter focuses purely on line breaks and indentation rather than forcing a particular case convention, leaving your existing capitalization style untouched.

Formatted

SELECT
  id,
  name,
  email
FROM users
WHERE status = 'active'
  AND created_at > '2026-01-01'
ORDER BY created_at desc
LIMIT 10

How it works

Paste a SQL query.
Read the formatted output with clauses on their own lines.
Copy the result with the Copy result button.

Formula Keyword-based clause line breaks; string literals and comments protected from keyword matching

Frequently asked questions

Does this validate my SQL syntax?

No — this reformats layout only. It does not parse or check whether the query is syntactically or semantically valid SQL.

Will it break a string that contains a word like FROM or WHERE?

No — string literals and comments are protected before any clause keyword matching, so `WHERE message = 'data FROM server'` stays intact.

Does this support every SQL dialect?

It handles common ANSI-style SQL (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, JOINs, WHERE/AND/OR) but isn’t dialect-specific — vendor extensions may not get special formatting.

Does it change my query logic?

No — only whitespace and line breaks change; keywords, values, and structure are preserved.

Is my query uploaded anywhere?

No. Formatting runs entirely in your browser.
