Frequently Asked Questions
Which SQL dialects are supported?
The tool supports Standard SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Transact-SQL (SQL Server), PL/SQL (Oracle), and SQLite. Each dialect handles specific syntax differences like backtick quoting, TOP vs LIMIT, and dialect-specific functions.
Does this validate SQL syntax?
The formatter focuses on formatting, not validation. It will format syntactically broken SQL as best it can without reporting errors. For syntax validation, use your database's query analyzer or a dedicated SQL linter.
Can it handle complex queries with subqueries and CTEs?
Yes. The formatter handles complex queries including nested subqueries, Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses), JOINs, UNION operations, window functions, and more. Each level of nesting is properly indented.
