Readable SQL is debuggable SQL
Long SQL queries that span multiple JOINs, subqueries, and CTEs become unreadable when collapsed into a single line. A consistent indentation style with one clause per line, uppercase keywords, and aligned commas turns an opaque blob of text into something a teammate can review in seconds. Most teams agree this is important — yet developers paste a one-liner into chat dozens of times a day.
A formatter solves the problem by enforcing a single style on demand. Paste any SQL and get back a beautifully indented version, ready for a code review comment, a runbook entry, or a saved query in your warehouse.

Minify mode
When you need the opposite — a compact one-line version of a query for embedding in code or copying into a single-line config — the minify button collapses all whitespace while preserving correctness. Useful when storing canned queries in an environment variable or pasting them into a constrained UI like a webhook payload.
