Frequently asked questions
How do I format SQL online?
Paste your SQL query above and MyJson reformats it with clean indentation and consistent keyword casing. You can also strip comments or minify it.
Does it run my query?
No. The formatter only reformats the text of your SQL — it never connects to a database or executes anything. Everything happens in your browser.
Can it minify SQL?
Yes. Minify collapses the query into a single line by removing extra whitespace, which is handy for embedding it in code or config.
