How to Format a SQL Query
Formatting a query is a one-step operation that pays off every time you read it afterwards.
Paste and format
Drop the query into the input and format it. Clauses move onto their own lines and nesting is indented, turning a wall of text into a clear structure.
Read the structure
With the layout clean, trace the query from SELECT to its joins and filters. Problems like an accidental cross join or an ambiguous column become obvious.
