Frequently Asked Questions
Which SQL dialects are supported?
This tool supports a wide range of SQL dialects including Standard SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server (T-SQL), Oracle, SQLite, and MariaDB. You can select your specific dialect from the options menu for the most accurate formatting.
Is my SQL data private?
Yes, completely. All formatting happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your queries are never sent to a server, ensuring that sensitive database logic and data remain secure on your local machine.
Can I minify SQL to reduce file size?
Absolutely. Use the 'Compress SQL' button to remove all unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and indentation. This is useful for reducing the size of SQL dump files or embedding queries in code where space is limited.
