SQL Formatter
Format and beautify SQL queries with proper keyword capitalization and line breaks.
SQL queries written in a hurry often end up as a wall of text with no line breaks or consistent casing. Reading a complex query with multiple joins, subqueries, and WHERE clauses becomes a significant cognitive challenge. This SQL formatter breaks long queries into readable segments, placing each clause on a new line, indenting AND/OR conditions, and making it easy to scan the structure of even very complex SQL statements at a glance.
📋 How to Use This Calculator
Paste your SQL query into the input box — SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, or any other statement. Click "Format SQL" to produce a structured version with each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY, etc.) starting on a new line. AND and OR conditions are indented two spaces under the WHERE clause. The output is ready to paste back into your SQL editor, documentation, or code review. The tool works with all major SQL dialects — MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle.
💡 Key Facts & Information
SQL formatting follows a few simple rules: major keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, LIMIT) are placed on new lines; AND and OR operators inside WHERE clauses are indented to show they are conditions within the clause; commas in SELECT lists trigger new lines for readability. This tool uses regex-based formatting which handles most common SQL patterns. For complex subqueries, CTEs (WITH clauses), or window functions, professional tools like pgAdmin, DBeaver, or the Prettier SQL plugin provide more advanced formatting.
