Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SQL formatter improve?
The formatter handles standard ANSI SQL and is compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle syntax. Dialect-specific functions and keywords are preserved as-is; the formatter focuses on whitespace, indentation, and keyword capitalization.
Does formatting change the query behavior?
No. SQL formatting is purely cosmetic — it changes whitespace and capitalization but never alters the logical structure or execution semantics of the query. The formatted query executes identically to the original.
What are the benefits of formatting SQL?
Readable SQL reduces debugging time, makes code reviews faster, helps new team members understand complex queries, and makes it easier to spot logical errors like missing JOIN conditions or incorrect WHERE clause grouping.
