SQL Formatter

Formatting SQL Queries for Quick Reading

SQL queries are often copied from logs, admin panels, ORM output, database clients, and reporting tools as long one-line statements. That makes joins, filters, selected fields, and ordering harder to inspect.

This SQL Formatter is meant for quick cleanup. Paste a query, choose a few readable formatting options, and copy a cleaner version for debugging, review, documentation, or sharing in a ticket.

Formatting SQL Without Changing the Query

1. Paste SQL into the input box.
2. Choose keyword case, indentation, and comma style.
3. Enable line breaks for joins and filters when needed.
4. Click Format SQL and copy the formatted output.

Common SQL Formatter Use Cases

• Cleaning SQL copied from application logs.
• Making generated ORM SQL easier to inspect.
• Formatting database queries before adding them to notes or tickets.
• Reviewing joins, filters, grouping, and ordering more clearly.
• Preparing readable query examples for documentation.

Simple Formatter vs Advanced SQL Beautifier

This page is for quick SQL formatting. For minifying SQL, JSON output, comment removal, extra warnings, and more advanced formatting controls, use the SQL Beautifier / Minifier.

Example SQL Formatting

Before:
select id,name,email from users where active=true order by created_at desc;

After:
SELECT
  id,
  name,
  email
FROM users
WHERE active = true
ORDER BY created_at DESC;
