FAQ

The formatter works with standard SQL syntax and handles most dialects including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server. It recognizes common keywords and formats them consistently, though dialect-specific syntax may not be specially formatted.

The tool applies a consistent style: keywords are uppercased, major clauses (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, etc.) start on new lines, and subqueries are indented. For custom styles, consider using a dedicated SQL formatting library.
Well-formatted SQL is easier to read, debug, and maintain. It helps identify missing joins, incorrect conditions, and nested subqueries. In team environments, consistent formatting reduces code review friction and prevents errors.
Yes. The formatter handles nested subqueries, multiple JOINs, UNIONs, and complex WHERE clauses. Each major clause gets its own line, making even complex queries easy to read.
