# SQL Formatter

> Format and indent SQL queries for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server and BigQuery.

To format SQL, paste your query above and it is re-indented with each clause on its own line. Choose your dialect so that database-specific syntax such as BigQuery backticks or SQL Server brackets is parsed correctly rather than mangled.

## FAQ

### Does formatting change how a query runs?

No. The optimiser parses the query into the same plan regardless of whitespace. Formatting is entirely for the person reading it — which matters, because an unreadable query is where subtle join errors hide.
