SQL Formatter
Paste a dense or minified SQL query and get it back formatted with clear line breaks before major clauses, easier to read and debug.
About this sql formatter
Long SQL queries crammed onto one line are hard to scan for mistakes. This tool breaks major clauses onto their own lines, the same way a careful developer would format it by hand.
How sql formatter works
The query is reformatted by inserting line breaks before major SQL keywords (FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and others), improving readability without changing the query's logic.
