Frequently Asked Questions
- Does formatting change SQL behavior?
- Normally no. Formatting changes whitespace, line breaks and keyword case, not query semantics. Test complex dialect-specific SQL before running it.
- Which SQL dialects are supported?
- The tool supports common SQL styles and dialect options. Vendor-specific functions may be formatted as text but not semantically validated.
- Why minify SQL?
- Minifying removes unnecessary whitespace, useful for embedding in code, transfer or logs. For debugging and reviews, formatted SQL is usually better.
