CodeBeautifySQL Formatter & Beautifier
Format and beautify SQL queries online. Uppercase keywords, indent SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and JOIN clauses onto their own lines, and support multiple SQL dialects.
Why format SQL?
Queries generated by an ORM, exported from a database tool, or pasted from a log line often arrive as one long line with no structure. Formatting puts each major clause — SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY — on its own line, which makes even a deeply nested query easy to scan, review, and debug.
What this tool does
- Keyword casing — normalizes keywords to uppercase, lowercase, or leaves them as written.
- Clause indentation — breaks major clauses onto their own lines with consistent indentation, tuned per SQL dialect.
- Minify — collapses a query to a single line while still applying your chosen keyword casing.
Example
| Before | Formatted |
|---|---|
select id,name from users where active=1 order by name | SELECT |
Frequently asked questions
How do I format SQL online?
Paste your query into the input box and click Beautify. The formatter indents major clauses like SELECT, FROM, and WHERE onto their own lines instantly.
How do I beautify a SQL query?
Beautifying SQL uppercases keywords and adds consistent indentation to a dense or minified query. Click Beautify, pick a dialect, and the beautifier reformats it immediately.
Why do I need to pick a SQL dialect?
Different databases extend standard SQL with their own syntax — for example T-SQL's TOP or PostgreSQL's ILIKE — and use different quoting rules for identifiers. Selecting the right dialect helps the formatter parse and indent dialect-specific syntax correctly.
Is this a substitute for an SQL linter?
No — this tool formats layout and casing, but doesn't check query correctness, validate that tables/columns exist, or catch performance issues. Use your database's own tooling or a dedicated linter for that.
