Readable SQL, Not Validated SQL
This is a formatter, not a validator — it breaks a query onto separate lines at each major clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, the JOIN family, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, UNION…) and indents AND/OR/ON conditions underneath, so a long one-line query becomes something you can actually scan.
It deliberately does not check whether the SQL is valid for any specific database — real dialect-aware validation would need a full parser for each SQL flavor (MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server all differ), and a shallow fake-validator would just give false confidence. This only reformats what you give it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tell me if my SQL is correct?
No — on purpose. Real SQL validation depends on which database you're targeting (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server all have different syntax quirks), and a lightweight browser tool can't do that honestly. This only reformats layout, it never claims your query is valid or invalid.
Will it break my query?
No — it only inserts line breaks and indentation, and optionally uppercases keywords. The SQL text itself (identifiers, values, operators) is never altered.
