SQL Formatter

Format, indent, and uppercase SQL queries with clause indentation, CTE support, and zero database connections.

Shortcuts: Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter) to format instantly.

How to Use the SQL Formatter

  1. Paste unformatted SQL queries, subqueries, or stored procedures into the Raw SQL Query input.
  2. Ensure the UPPERCASE Keywords option is selected if you want standardized capitalization.
  3. Click Format SQL or press Ctrl+Enter.
  4. Copy formatted SQL or download it as a .sql file.

Online SQL Formatter: Beautify, Indent & Standardize Database Queries

The Todoal SQL Formatter is a browser-native database query beautifier engineered to format messy, unindented, or single-line SQL queries into clean, readable statements. When inspecting application logs, extracting ORM-generated database queries (such as Prisma, TypeORM, or Hibernate), or debugging complex multi-table joins, unformatted SQL queries are challenging to analyze and optimize.

Our SQL formatting engine supports standard SQL dialects including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server (T-SQL), and MariaDB. It automatically standardizes major SQL keywords (such as SELECT, FROM, WHERE, LEFT JOIN, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY) to uppercase, aligns clause indentation, and separates complex subqueries.

Dialect-Agnostic Keyword Alignment

Standardizes clause keywords to uppercase, aligns SELECT columns vertically, and places JOIN, WHERE, and HAVING conditions on dedicated indented lines.

Subquery & CTE Indentation Depth

Maintains clear visual nesting across Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses), subqueries, UNION statements, and complex conditional CASE/WHEN expressions.

One-Click Download & Instant Copy

Download formatted queries as clean .sql files or copy beautified queries to your clipboard with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter).

100% In-Browser Client-Side Privacy

All SQL formatting executes locally in your browser memory. Your proprietary database schemas, table names, sensitive query parameters, and business logic are never uploaded.

Integrated Backend Engineering & Developer Tool Suite

Database query optimization is closely tied to overall backend architecture. Format JSON responses from your database using our JSON Formatter, validate JSON schemas with the JSON Validator, convert Unix epoch timestamps from your query results using the Unix Timestamp Converter or Timestamp Converter, and generate unique primary keys with the UUID Generator.

For API and security workflows, decode authentication headers with the JWT Decoder, test regex search patterns with the Regex Tester, format XML feeds with the XML Formatter, and format scripts with the JavaScript Formatter. Explore all utilities in the Developer Tools Suite.

How to Format SQL Queries with Todoal

  1. Paste SQL: Paste your unformatted SQL query into the Raw SQL Input box.
  2. Select Indentation: Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab indentation.
  3. Format: Click Format SQL or press Ctrl+Enter.
  4. Export: Copy the beautified query or download it as a .sql file.

Multi-Dialect Keyword Normalization

Standardizes reserved keywords to uppercase across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, T-SQL, MariaDB, and Oracle while preserving table and column casing.

JOIN & Subquery Clause Structuring

Places complex INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL OUTER joins onto dedicated indented lines with aligned ON conditions for effortless query inspection.

Why Clean Query Formatting is Crucial for Database Performance

When analyzing slow query logs, reviewing execution plans (EXPLAIN ANALYZE), or auditing complex ORM queries, unformatted single-line SQL makes it nearly impossible to identify missing indexes, unintended cartesian products (CROSS JOINs), or redundant subselects. Formatting queries into clean, indented clauses allows database administrators and backend developers to diagnose performance bottlenecks and optimize query execution plans rapidly.

Standardizing SQL Queries for Team Collaboration

Messy, single-line SQL queries extracted from ORM frameworks or application logs hinder code reviews and database tuning. The Todoal SQL Formatter standardizes keywords to uppercase, aligns SELECT columns, and structures complex JOIN and WHERE clauses onto separate indented lines, making query maintenance seamless.

Optimizing Database Workflows with Formatted Queries

Complex SQL statements involving multi-table joins, subqueries, and aggregation clauses are difficult to optimize when compressed onto a single line. The Todoal SQL Formatter standardizes keywords to uppercase, indents nested conditions, and structures queries cleanly for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle databases.

Cross-Database Dialect Alignment

Whether formatting PostgreSQL JSONB queries, MySQL window functions, SQLite schema migrations, or SQL Server stored procedures, Todoal organizes statements with clean keyword alignment, separated predicates, and indented subqueries for effortless database administration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this browser tool and privacy.

Does this SQL formatter execute queries or connect to a database?
Never. This tool operates as a pure text parser in your browser. It does not possess database connection drivers or execute statements against any server.
Which SQL dialects and clauses are supported?
It supports standard SQL ANSI syntax as well as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MS SQL dialects, including SELECT, JOINs, CTEs (WITH queries), Subqueries, CASE WHEN, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
Are table strings and literals preserved?
Yes. Quoted strings ('string', "identifier"), numeric literals, and comments (-- comment and /* */) are strictly protected from formatting alterations.
