Beautify and Organize Your Queries Effortlessly with DevUtilX SQL Formatter đź’ˇ

SQL is the language that powers databases — but let’s face it, long and unformatted queries can quickly become unreadable. Whether you're debugging a complex JOIN or collaborating on a data-heavy project, clean and structured SQL can make all the difference.

That’s where the DevUtilX SQL Formatter comes in. It helps you instantly format messy SQL code into readable, well-structured queries — all in one click.


What is SQL Formatting?

SQL formatting is the process of organizing SQL code by adjusting indentation, spacing, and line breaks to make it easier to read and understand — without altering its logic or behavior.

Example

Before Formatting:

SELECT name,age,department FROM employees WHERE department='Engineering' AND age>25 ORDER BY age DESC;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After Formatting:

SELECT  
  name,  
  age,  
  department  
FROM  
  employees  
WHERE  
  department = 'Engineering'  
  AND age > 25  
ORDER BY  
  age DESC;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Notice how much more readable and maintainable it becomes!
