SQL Pretty Printer — Format SQL Queries
generic-text workspace — use pgFormatter or IDE for production SQL pretty print
How to Use This Tool

- Click Transform — passthrough for sql-pretty-printer slug today.

About This Tool
Code review, incident tickets, and documentation benefit from consistently indented SQL — keywords aligned, clauses broken across lines, and subqueries nested visibly. VSPIC sql-pretty-printer maps to generic-text client kind in missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts: textarea plus Transform with slug-aware transformText.
The slug sql-pretty-printer does not match format or pretty rules in transformText today — Transform returns input unchanged. Use pgFormatter, sqlformat, or IDE format document for dialect-aware pretty printing. This page documents passthrough honestly and pairs with sql-minifier sibling.

- •Inspect HTTP headers and user-agent strings
- •Analyze email headers for phishing investigation
- •Generate strong passwords for staging environments
Why use VSPIC for ?
- Honest generic-text passthrough documentation.
- Local staging for SQL before IDE format.
- Client-side paste — warehouse queries stay on device.
- Copy button for ticket attachments.
- Pairs with sql-minifier for minify versus format SEO pair.
- Free workspace without account.
SQL formatting in review workflows
Consistent SQL style reduces diff noise in migration PRs. pgFormatter and sqlfluff format rules enforce team conventions in CI.
generic-text passthrough for sql-pretty-printer
sql-pretty-printer slug lacks transformText matches. Output mirrors input on Transform.
Use pgFormatter for PostgreSQL
pgFormatter handles PostgreSQL-specific constructs — dollar quotes, window functions, and CTE indentation.
Relationship to sql-minifier
Minify for compact transport; pretty print for human review. Both need dedicated handlers — currently passthrough siblings.
Relationship to json-formatter-validator
When SQL embeds JSON operators or JSON columns, format JSON literals separately with json-formatter-validator proxy widget.
Uppercase keyword convention
Many style guides uppercase SELECT, FROM, WHERE. Formatters configurable for keyword case policy.
Client-side privacy
Analytics SQL with revenue table names stays in browser on paste.
Future dedicated SQL format proxy
Registry may add client SQL formatter kind. Update this page when handler ships.
CTE and subquery nesting
Quality formatters indent nested SELECT blocks proportionally to depth — manual indent in textarea is error-prone for deep queries.
