SQL Formatting Best Practices

Our SQL formatter implements industry-standard formatting conventions to ensure your code follows best practices. Here's what makes well-formatted SQL code stand out:

Keyword Capitalization

SQL keywords like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, and ORDER BY are capitalized to distinguish them from table names, column names, and other identifiers. This visual separation makes the query structure immediately apparent.

Proper Indentation

Each clause of the SQL statement is properly indented to show the logical structure of the query. Subqueries and complex expressions receive additional indentation to maintain clarity.

Line Breaks and Spacing

Strategic line breaks separate different parts of the query, while consistent spacing around operators and commas improves readability without making the code too verbose.

Column Alignment

When dealing with multiple columns or conditions, proper alignment helps you quickly scan and understand the query structure, especially in complex SELECT statements with many columns.
