Frequently Asked Questions

Which SQL dialects are supported?+
The formatter works on standard SQL syntax common to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite — it formats keyword structure and indentation rather than validating dialect-specific functions.
Does it validate my SQL for errors?+
No — this tool focuses on formatting and readability, not syntax validation. It will reformat the query as-is based on recognized SQL keywords.
Can I format complex queries with joins and subqueries?+
Yes — JOIN clauses, subqueries, and multiple conditions are each placed on their own indented line for readability.
