About SQL Formatting
This tool formats SQL queries for readability by placing major clauses on new lines and applying consistent indentation. It supports standard SQL syntax including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE, subqueries, JOINs, CASE expressions, and more.
Keyword casing: Choose UPPER, lower, or preserve original casing for SQL keywords. UPPER is the most common convention for readability.
Minify: Removes all unnecessary whitespace and comments, producing compact single-line SQL. Useful for logging, URLs, or reducing payload size.
Supported features: String literals (single/double quotes), backtick-quoted identifiers (MySQL), multi-word keywords (LEFT JOIN, ORDER BY, GROUP BY), inline/block comments, CASE/WHEN expressions, and subqueries with proper parenthesis indentation.
What is PostgreSQL query formatting?
PostgreSQL query formatting structures your SQL with proper indentation, keyword capitalization, and clause alignment tailored to PostgreSQL syntax. This includes handling PostgreSQL-specific features like Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses), window functions (OVER/PARTITION BY), array operators, and JSONB operations that other formatters may not handle correctly.
Common use cases
PostgreSQL developers format queries when analyzing complex CTEs, debugging window functions, or preparing analytical queries for documentation. It is especially useful for data engineers working with long queries involving multiple joins, subqueries, and aggregations that become unreadable without proper formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this formatter handle PostgreSQL-specific features like CTEs and JSONB operators?
Yes. The formatter recognizes PostgreSQL-specific syntax including WITH (CTE) clauses, JSONB operators (->>, #>), array syntax, RETURNING clauses, and window functions.
Will the formatter work with PL/pgSQL stored procedures?
The formatter handles standard SQL statements within procedures well. For full PL/pgSQL blocks with DECLARE, BEGIN, and EXCEPTION sections, results may vary — it works best with the SQL query portions.
