Frequently Asked Questions

Which SQL dialects are supported?

The formatter uses standard SQL formatting rules that work with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and other dialects. Dialect-specific keywords are treated as identifiers.

Does the tool execute SQL queries?

No. The tool only formats the text of your SQL — it does not connect to any database or execute anything.

Is my SQL sent to a server?

No. All formatting happens entirely in your browser. Your queries never leave your device.

Does it handle stored procedures?

The formatter handles standard DML statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) and DDL statements (CREATE, ALTER, DROP). Complex procedural SQL (PL/pgSQL, T-SQL procedures) may not be fully formatted.
