Frequently Asked Questions
Is my SQL query secure?
Yes! All SQL processing happens entirely in your browser. Your queries are never sent to any server.
Which SQL dialects are supported?
The formatter supports standard SQL and is compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, and other major database systems.
Can it format stored procedures?
Yes, the formatter can handle stored procedures, functions, and complex SQL scripts including CREATE statements.
Does it validate SQL syntax?
The formatter focuses on formatting rather than validation. It will format your SQL but won't catch logical errors - always test queries in your database.
Can I format multiple queries at once?
Yes! Separate multiple queries with semicolons and they'll all be formatted together.
