Made with ❤️ by the SQLinForm Team

SQLinForm is a SQL Formatter. It helps format SQL code into a more readable and consistent format. It rearranges the SQL statements, keywords, and clauses in a way that makes the code easier to read and understand. The formatter can also enforce coding standards and best practices, helping to improve the overall quality and maintainability of the code. SQLinForm can be used as a standalone tool, integrated into a code editor, or built into a database management system. The primary goal is to help developers write clean, efficient, and well-structured code.

Demo

Features
