What the SQL Formatter does
SQL Formatter: formats Status and Formatted SQL from SQL Input. Example: the sample loaded on the page gives status Formatted.
Feed it SQL Input; it hands back Status and Formatted SQL. Adjust anything and the figures re-derive on the spot.
Most people who open the SQL Formatter are anyone cleaning up machine output. Reading raw machine output is painful; a formatted view makes the structure obvious.
Nothing is uploaded: useful when the text you are inspecting contains keys or customer records.
Below the tool you will find the field reference, the method, and an example computed from the values it opens with.
What do the SQL Formatter fields mean?
The SQL Formatter uses 1 input. The page opens in a usable state: real values in, real answer out, ready to edit.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| SQL Input | paste or type any amount of text | SELECT id, name, created_at FROM users WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY created_at DESC; |
How does the SQL Formatter work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same formatted output.
If something is off you are told which field, not given a generic failure.
Worked example
These are the values the SQL Formatter loads by default, and the result it produces from them. Below is the same computation the tool performs on load, step by step.
| SQL Input | SELECT id, name, created_at FROM users WHERE active = 1 O… |
|---|
| Status | Formatted |
|---|---|
| Formatted SQL | SELECT id, name, created_at FROM users WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY created_at DESC; |
How to use it
- Paste your content into SQL Input.
- The answer follows your cursor, in effect. Change a field and read the new figure.
- Look at Status and Formatted SQL in the output panel.
- Copy Link when you want to return to this exact configuration; Print when someone needs it on paper.
What this tool does not do
- Processing happens in your browser, so very large inputs are bounded by available memory.
- Output follows the common convention for this format; a specific toolchain may have its own house style.
- The tool answers exactly the question it is given; it cannot know the context around your numbers.
Frequently asked questions
SQL Input, nothing else. Every box already holds a working value, so the quickest approach is to replace the one number you actually care about.
With the values loaded when the page opens, status comes out as Formatted. Adjust any field to see how much the answer depends on it.
No. Disconnect from the internet and it still works; that is the simplest proof there is no server call.
No charge. Everything on the page is available without signing in.
