Frequently Asked Questions
Does the formatter support all SQL dialects?
The formatter handles standard SQL keywords used across most databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.). Some database-specific syntax may not be fully supported.
Will formatting change how my query works?
No, formatting only changes whitespace and letter case. The logic and functionality of your query remains exactly the same.
Why are SQL keywords in uppercase?
Uppercase keywords are a common SQL convention that improves readability by distinguishing reserved words from table and column names. It's not required but widely adopted as best practice.
