SQL Formatter

Break long SQL into readable clauses and column lists while preserving quoted values and comments.

Formatting does not execute SQL or validate its syntax, tables, or columns.

Formatted SQL

Paste the source SQL
Check that quotes and block comments are closed. Unclosed content produces an error.
Compare the formatted query
Look for clearer SELECT columns and FROM or WHERE clauses. Keyword capitalization stays as you entered it.
Review before execution
Check syntax and the real database schema before running the copied SQL. Successful formatting is not evidence that a production query is safe.

A worked example

Start with: select id,name from users where active = 1;
Check the result: id and name move onto separate lines, and from and where start new lines. Lowercase keywords remain lowercase.

This is whitespace formatting. It does not check whether users or active exists.
