Mathematical Formula & Explanation

SQL Lexical Formatting Algorithm: 1. Reserved Keyword Detection: Identify and uppercase ANSI SQL tokens: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, AND, OR, INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, ON, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, LIMIT. 2. Clause Splitting: Insert newline before major statement anchors (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY). 3. Subquery Indentation: Track open parentheses '(' and nested sub-queries with tab indentation depth. 4. Comma Alignment: Format comma-separated column lists with consistent leading or trailing line breaks.

About SQL Query Formatter

The Free Online SQL Query Formatter takes long, messy, single-line SQL queries and transforms them into beautifully indented, structured statements following ANSI SQL standards.
