About SQL Formatting
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used for managing data in relational database management systems. Properly formatted SQL queries are easier to read, debug, and maintain, especially when working with complex queries involving multiple tables, conditions, and operations.
SQL Formatting Best Practices:
- Use consistent keyword capitalization (either UPPERCASE or lowercase) throughout your queries
- Place each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc.) on a new line
- Indent subqueries and expressions appropriately
- Align column names in SELECT statements and conditions in WHERE clauses
- Use consistent spacing around operators and parentheses
- Use meaningful aliases for tables and columns in complex queries
- Break long conditions into multiple lines with logical indentation
Our SQL formatter allows you to choose between UPPERCASE and lowercase for SQL keywords to match your team's coding standards.
