Free SQL Formatter Online

Use this free SQL Formatter online to make hard-to-read database queries easier to inspect, edit, and share. It works as an SQL beautifier for common SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements and can format joins, WHERE conditions, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING clauses, nested queries, comments, and multiple SQL statements.

Whether you need an SQL query formatter for development, an SQL beautifier online for debugging, or a quick way to clean SQL before documentation and review, you can paste your query and get consistently indented output without connecting to a database. Keyword casing can be set to uppercase, lowercase, or preserved.

  1. Paste your SQL query or load a .sql/.txt file.
  2. Choose keyword casing and indentation size.
  3. Click Format SQL to beautify the query.
  4. Review the result, then copy it or download a .sql file.

What This SQL Beautifier Handles

  • SELECT queries with readable SELECT lists and clauses.
  • INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL and CROSS JOIN structures with ON conditions.
  • WHERE, AND, OR, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, LIMIT, OFFSET and common set operations.
  • INSERT INTO, VALUES, UPDATE, SET and DELETE FROM statements.
  • Nested SELECT statements and subqueries inside parentheses.
  • SQL comments and quoted strings without changing their contents.
  • Multiple SQL statements separated by semicolons.

SQL Formatting for Common Database Work

Readable SQL can make query review and maintenance easier. This browser-based formatter is useful when working with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle and other SQL environments where familiar SQL clauses are used. Formatting does not execute the query or validate database-specific permissions, schema names, or server-side behavior, so review the final SQL for your target database before running it.
