SQL formatting questions
Common questions about SQL formatting and beautification.
Which SQL dialects are supported?
The formatter handles standard SQL that is broadly compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server. It correctly formats SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP, TRUNCATE, JOIN clauses, subqueries, CTEs (WITH clauses) and aggregate functions.
What is comma-first style?
Comma-first style places the comma at the start of each new line rather than the end of the previous line. For example: SELECT id ,name ,email. Some teams prefer this style because it makes it easier to spot missing commas and comment out individual columns.
Does the formatter change my query logic?
No. The formatter only changes whitespace, line breaks and keyword casing. The actual SQL logic — column names, table names, string values and operators — is preserved exactly as you entered it. The formatted SQL will produce identical results to the original.
