TSqlFormatter

Key features

• Five formatting styles Classic, Comfortable and their lowercase Minimalist variants, plus Microsoft's lossless SQL Server parser output.
• Instant formatting The formatted pane updates as you type, and the result is copied to the clipboard automatically.
• Headless CLI mode Run TSqlFormatter.exe <style> <input> <output> in scripts, with clear exit codes for CI/CD.
• Your SQL is never lost The output is either correctly formatted SQL or your original SQL with an explanatory comment - never mangled. Constructs a style can't handle fall back to the SQL Server parser style.
• Preserves what matters Comments stay in place, GO batch separators are kept, and a custom batch-separator marker is supported.
• Broad T-SQL support DML, DDL, CTEs, window functions, MERGE, PIVOT, TRY...CATCH, cursors, transactions, FOR XML/JSON and more.

Example

The Classic style aligns clause bodies in a column:

SELECT   EmployeeId,
         Name,
         Salary
FROM     Employees
WHERE    DepartmentId = 5
         AND IsActive = 1
ORDER BY Salary DESC;
