What is SQL Formatter?

SQL beautification (also called SQL formatting or pretty-printing) reformats a SQL statement so that keywords are consistently capitalized, clauses start on new lines, and nested subqueries are indented. ORMs and query builders often generate flat, unreadable SQL strings that are difficult to debug. Beautified SQL is easier to read in EXPLAIN output, simpler to share in code reviews, and clearer when documenting stored procedures. This tool supports standard SQL syntax including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, and complex JOIN and subquery patterns.
