What is SQL formatting?

SQL formatting is the process of adding proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to SQL queries to make them more readable and easier to maintain. It helps developers understand complex queries and debug SQL code more effectively.

Can I customize keyword capitalization?

Yes! Our SQL formatter allows you to choose between uppercase, lowercase, or preserve original case for SQL keywords like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc. This helps match your team's coding standards.

Does formatting affect SQL query execution?

No, formatting only changes the appearance of SQL code, not its functionality. Formatted SQL queries execute exactly the same as unformatted ones. The only difference is readability.

What indentation options are available?

You can choose between 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs for indentation. This lets you match your project's coding style and preferences.

Is the SQL formatter free to use?

Yes, absolutely! Our SQL formatter is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or usage limits. You can format as much SQL as you need.

Do you store my SQL queries?

No, absolutely not. All SQL processing happens entirely in your browser. We never see, store, transmit, or have any access to your SQL queries. Your privacy is completely protected.
