Frequently Asked Questions
Which SQL dialects does this formatter support?
This formatter handles standard SQL including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, and most JOIN types. It works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle syntax. Dialect-specific functions and stored procedures may not format perfectly but the core query structure always formats correctly.
Does this formatter send my SQL to a server?
No. The SQL formatter runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your SQL query never leaves your device. This makes it safe to use with sensitive queries, internal database schemas, and proprietary data.
What is the difference between Format and Minify?
Format adds indentation, line breaks, and keyword casing for human readability — ideal for code reviews, documentation, and debugging. Minify removes all whitespace to produce a compact single-line query — useful for embedding SQL in config files or logging.
