Your coworker wrote a 500-character SQL query on a single line. No indentation, no line breaks, just a wall of text. You need to understand what it does without losing your mind. Here's the fix.
Format Any SQL Query
Paste your messy SQL into the SQL Formatter. It handles SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, JOINs, subqueries, CTEs, window functions, and everything else. One click and it's readable.
Before and After
Before:
SELECT u.id, u.name, u.email, COUNT(o.id) as order_count, SUM(o.total) as total_spent FROM users u LEFT JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id WHERE u.created_at > '2026-01-01' AND u.status = 'active' GROUP BY u.id, u.name, u.email HAVING COUNT(o.id) > 5 ORDER BY total_spent DESC LIMIT 100
After:
SELECT
u.id,
u.name,
u.email,
COUNT(o.id) AS order_count,
SUM(o.total) AS total_spent
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN orders o
ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE u.created_at > '2026-01-01'
AND u.status = 'active'
GROUP BY u.id, u.name, u.email
HAVING COUNT(o.id) > 5
ORDER BY total_spent DESC
LIMIT 100
Same query. Now you can actually read it, debug it, and modify it without missing a condition.
Why Formatting Matters
Bugs hide in messy SQL. A missing JOIN condition, a wrong WHERE clause, a GROUP BY that's missing a column. When the query is formatted, these mistakes are obvious. When it's on one line, they're invisible.
