Frequently asked questions
Is my SQL query stored or sent to a server?
No. All SQL formatting happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your queries never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What SQL dialects are supported?
This formatter works with standard SQL syntax and is compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and other major databases.
Can I format large SQL queries?
Yes, this tool can handle SQL queries up to several thousand lines. Very large queries may take a moment to format.
Does it validate SQL syntax?
This is a formatter, not a validator. It will format any text you provide, but it does not check for SQL syntax errors.
Can I use this tool offline?
Yes, once the page loads, the tool works completely offline since all processing happens in your browser.
Will it change my query logic?
No, the formatter only adds whitespace and line breaks for readability. It never changes the actual SQL logic or keywords.
