SQL formatter

Formatting

Pretty-print SQL for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, BigQuery, Snowflake, and more.

What this tool helps with

SQL that comes out of an ORM, a code review diff, or a log line is often a single dense line that's hard to read. This formatter parses the statement and reflows it with consistent indentation and keyword casing across the common dialects — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, BigQuery, SQLite — so you can scan a JOIN chain at a glance. It runs locally, so production queries that contain identifiers you'd rather not leak stay on your machine.

FAQ

Does it change my query's behaviour?

No. Formatting only reshapes whitespace and keyword case. Identifiers, literals, comments, and execution semantics are untouched.

What if my dialect-specific syntax isn't recognised?

Pick the closest dialect from the options — choosing the right one lets the parser handle dialect-only keywords (TOP, LIMIT, ILIKE, MERGE) without flagging them as errors.

Why are my keywords getting uppercased?

Uppercase keywords is a configurable convention because it makes the structural words pop visually. Switch the casing option to leave them as written if you prefer lowercase keywords.
