Why should SQL keywords be uppercased?

SQL keywords (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN) are conventionally uppercase to distinguish them visually from table and column names. This is a style convention, SQL is case-insensitive for keywords.

Does this work with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite?

Yes. The formatter handles standard ANSI SQL common to all major databases. Dialect-specific syntax is passed through unchanged. Keyword casing and clause indentation work universally.

Can I format stored procedures and multi-statement SQL scripts?

Yes. Paste an entire SQL script with multiple statements or a stored procedure and the formatter processes the whole input with proper clause indentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a common style choice. Keywords stand out from table and column names. SQL does not require it.

Yes for standard SQL. Database-specific syntax is left as you typed it.

No. Formatting runs in your browser.

Code formatters run in your browser—nothing is uploaded. Use them to inspect JSON, YAML, or SQL during debugging; pair with the CI/CD developer guide for pipeline workflows.
