Online SQL Formatter & Query Beautifier

Format messy, unindented, or minified SQL queries into clean, standardized SQL code with uppercase keyword formatting and intelligent clause indentation.

Local Processing & Data Privacy

All formatting, parsing, decoding, and validation executes entirely within your browser using modern Web APIs and JavaScript. Your tokens, JSON payloads, regex inputs, and queries never leave your computer.

About this Tool

Complex database queries involving multiple JOIN clauses, subqueries, CASE statements, and CTEs (Common Table Expressions) can quickly become unreadable when crammed onto one line in application logs or ORM output.

DevRef's Online SQL Formatter cleans and beautifies SQL queries with proper line breaks, consistent indentation, and uppercase keyword casing. It supports major database dialects including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, BigQuery, and Oracle. All formatting executes 100% in your browser—your database schemas and queries are never uploaded or stored.

  1. 1Paste SQL Query: Insert your raw, messy, or single-line SQL query into the editor window.
  2. 2Select Dialect: Choose standard SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, or BigQuery for dialect-specific syntax.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my database queries or table names sent to DevRef servers?

No. The SQL parser and formatting engine run entirely within client-side JavaScript in your browser. No queries, table names, or data are transmitted over the internet.

Does this tool execute or run the SQL query?

No. This tool is strictly a static syntax formatter and beautifier. It does not connect to any database or execute statements.

Can it handle complex CTEs (WITH queries) and nested subqueries?

Yes. The formatter intelligently indents CTE blocks (WITH clause) and nested parenthesized subqueries for maximum readability.
