Frequently asked questions
Does this work for all SQL dialects?+
It works reasonably well for standard SQL used by MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server, though very dialect-specific syntax may not format perfectly.
SQL queries copied from a log file, an ORM's debug output, or a colleague's Slack message often arrive as one dense line that's hard to scan for logic errors. This tool breaks the query onto new lines at each major clause — SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and more — so you can quickly see the query's structure. It's a lightweight, keyword-based formatter rather than a full SQL parser, so always double check complex nested subqueries after formatting.
