SQL Formatter
100% Client-SideSQL Formatter helps you format SQL into readable clauses and indentation for easier review. It is meant for quick development work such as reviewing long queries, sharing SQL in documentation, and spotting joins and nested logic.
This tool formats SQL text only — it never executes queries and does not prove a query is valid for your database dialect or safe to run.
