How do I format a SQL query online?

Paste your SQL into the SQL Formatter tool. It adds proper indentation, line breaks, and keyword formatting instantly. Works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server.

Should SQL keywords be uppercase?

It's a widely followed convention that improves readability. SELECT, FROM, WHERE in uppercase stand out visually from table and column names in lowercase. It's not required by SQL engines.

Does formatting affect SQL performance?

No. SQL formatting is purely cosmetic — whitespace and line breaks are ignored by the database engine. Formatted and minified queries produce identical execution plans.
