Formatted SQL will appear here…What is the SQL Query Formatter?
The SQL Query Formatter takes a dense or inconsistently formatted SQL statement and reformats it with each major clause — SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and others — on its own line, with column lists indented for readability. Long queries pasted from a single line, a log file, or an ORM's generated SQL are much harder to review and debug than properly formatted ones; this tool makes that structure visible at a glance without needing a database client or IDE plugin.
How to use it
Paste your SQL query into the input box; the formatted version appears immediately below with each clause on its own line and comma-separated columns indented underneath. Copy the result for use in your query editor, migration file, or documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does this support every SQL dialect?
Formatting is based on common ANSI SQL keywords shared across most dialects (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.); highly dialect-specific syntax may not be recognized as a keyword.
Will formatting change my query's logic?
No, only whitespace and line breaks are changed — the query's clauses, conditions, and values are preserved exactly.
Can I format INSERT and UPDATE statements too?
Yes, INSERT INTO, VALUES, UPDATE, SET, and DELETE FROM are recognized alongside SELECT-style queries.
