SQL Formatter

Why use Tabreon for this?

• Formatting runs client-side — your query, which may reference internal table or column names, never leaves your browser.
• Clause-aware indentation makes long queries with joins and subqueries far easier to read.
• No account, no character limit, and no watermark on the output.

How to format a SQL query

1. 1Paste your SQL. Paste a SQL query into the input panel.
2. 2Click Format SQL. The query is reformatted with each major clause on its own line and consistent indentation.
3. 3Copy or download. Copy the formatted query, or download it as a file.

What is SQL formatting?

SQL formatting rewrites a query's whitespace, capitalization, and line breaks for readability without changing its meaning — putting each clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY) on its own line and indenting subclauses consistently. It's especially useful for queries that were minified, generated by an ORM, or pasted from a single-line log entry.

How Tabreon handles your data

Formatting runs entirely in your browser using the sql-formatter library — the SQL you paste is never transmitted to a server.

Key features

• Consistent keyword capitalization and clause indentation
• Handles JOINs, subqueries, and multi-clause WHERE conditions
• Copy-to-clipboard and file download
• Works as a formatter for any SQL dialect close to standard ANSI SQL

Common use cases

• Reformatting a minified query copied from a slow-query log for readability
• Cleaning up an ORM-generated query before including it in a bug report
• Standardizing SQL formatting across a codebase before a code review

Common mistakes & limitations

• This is a formatter, not a validator or execution engine — it does not check the query against any database schema or catch logical errors.
• Dialect-specific syntax outside standard SQL (vendor-specific hints, unusual extensions) may not format exactly as that vendor's own tools would.
