FAQ

What SQL dialects does this formatter support?

The formatter supports standard SQL syntax and works well with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite queries. Dialect-specific keywords are formatted based on common conventions.

Does it validate SQL syntax?

The formatter restructures SQL for readability but does not validate whether the query is syntactically correct or will execute successfully against a database.

Can it format stored procedures?

The tool handles basic stored procedure formatting. Complex procedural code with loops and conditionals may not format perfectly due to dialect variations.
