PostgreSQL Formatter

Format PostgreSQL queries with indentation, keyword casing, and line breaks tuned for the PostgreSQL dialect. Paste compact or messy SQL and get a clean, readable layout. All formatting runs in your browser.

Dialect:

Formatting runs entirely in your browser.

How it works

The tool uses the sql-formatter library, a dialect-aware SQL pretty-printer that runs entirely in your browser. It parses your query and re-emits it with consistent indentation and capitalisation. No server required.

Processing runs in your browser

All formatting happens locally in your browser tab. Our servers are not involved at any point.

Frequently asked questions

Which PostgreSQL features does the formatter handle?

Standard SQL plus PostgreSQL-specific syntax: RETURNING clauses, JSONB operators, double-quoted identifiers, CTEs, window functions, and dollar-quoted strings used in functions.

Does the formatter validate PostgreSQL syntax?

Formatting only adjusts whitespace and capitalisation. Syntax errors are preserved in the output, though the cleaner layout often makes them easier to spot and fix.

Can I format CTEs and window functions?

Yes. The formatter aligns WITH clauses, OVER() expressions, and PARTITION BY/ORDER BY for readability.

Is my SQL sent to a server?

All formatting runs in your browser using JavaScript. Our servers are not involved at any point.
