SQL Formatter
Paste a messy SQL query to get it broken onto readable lines with keyword capitalization.
What this formatter does
It uppercases common SQL keywords and breaks the query onto a new line before each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and so on) — a lightweight readability pass rather than a full SQL parser, so highly nested subqueries may need manual touch-ups.
About the SQL Formatter
The SQL Formatter makes messy SQL easier to read by uppercasing common keywords and breaking the query onto new lines before main clauses like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY and ORDER BY.
It is a lightweight readability pass rather than a full SQL parser, so deeply nested subqueries or vendor-specific syntax may need small manual adjustments. Formatting does not change what the query does. Readable queries are easier to review, debug and share with teammates.
