Frequently asked questions

Questions about SQL Formatter

Why does the SQL dialect matter?

Different databases support different keywords, operators and syntax. Choosing the appropriate dialect helps the formatter interpret the query more accurately.

Does formatting change what a query does?

Formatting should only change whitespace and keyword presentation. You should still review generated output before using it in a production database.

Does this tool validate SQL against a database?

No. It formats syntax according to the selected dialect but does not connect to a database, inspect schemas or guarantee that a query will execute successfully.

Are SQL queries uploaded?

No. Formatting and minification occur entirely inside your browser.
