Paste messy SQL on the left — get clean, formatted SQL on the right. Formatting happens as you type.
Consistent SQL formatting is essential in team settings where queries end up in version control, code review, and documentation. The most widely adopted conventions are: uppercase all SQL keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN) so they stand out from identifiers; use snake_case for table and column names (user_id, created_at); place each major clause on its own line to make the logical structure obvious at a glance; and apply 2- or 4-space indentation for column lists and WHERE conditions. Many teams enforce these rules automatically with tools like sqlfluff (Python) or sql-formatter (JavaScript/Node.js) in their CI pipelines.
