Question 1

How do I format SQL queries online?

Accepted Answer

Paste your SQL query into the editor and click Format. The tool will indent clauses, align keywords, and produce a clean, readable query instantly — no login required.

Question 2

What is SQL beautifier?

Accepted Answer

A SQL beautifier reformats compressed or hand-written SQL into a consistently indented, easy-to-read layout. It separates clauses like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and JOIN onto their own lines.

Question 3

Should SQL keywords be uppercase or lowercase?

Accepted Answer

By convention, SQL keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, etc.) are written in UPPERCASE to distinguish them from table and column names. This tool can automatically uppercase all keywords for you.

Question 4

How do I indent SQL subqueries?

Accepted Answer

Subqueries should be indented one level deeper than the surrounding query and wrapped in parentheses. The formatter handles this automatically, making nested queries much easier to read.

Question 5

What is the standard SQL formatting style?

Accepted Answer

The most common style places each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY) on its own line, indents column lists and conditions, and uses uppercase for reserved keywords. This mirrors the style used by tools like pgAdmin and SQL Server Management Studio.
