Key findings from 12 calls
- Dialect-aware: each dialect handles its own syntax (BigQuery backtick-quoted tables, Spark EXPLODE, Snowflake CTEs, T-SQL PARTITION BY, MySQL INTERVAL, SQLite AUTOINCREMENT).
- All SQL statement types work: SELECT, INSERT...SELECT, UPDATE...CASE, CREATE TABLE, CTEs (WITH), window functions (ROW_NUMBER, AVG OVER), JOINs (INNER/LEFT).
- Keyword case control:
upper(default) uppercases keywords;lowerlowercases them;preservekeeps original. Only SQL keywords are affected — identifiers stay untouched. - Indentation:
tab_width: 4correctly widens indent.use_tabsavailable but not tested. - Return format: always
{formatted, dialect, line_count}— formatted string uses\nnewlines. - Performance: first call ~61ms, complex queries 100-540ms, simple queries ~120ms. CTE + window function queries are slowest.
- No validation: the formatter does not reject invalid SQL — it formats whatever you give it. Syntax errors may produce unexpected formatting rather than errors.
Gotchas
- Default dialect is
"sql"(ANSI) — always specify dialect for non-trivial queries to get correct formatting - Window function
OVER()clauses get their own indentation block with inner ORDER BY/PARTITION BY - BigQuery backtick-quoted table names (`
project.dataset.table`) are preserved correctly line_countin response tells you how many lines the formatted output spans- The formatter uppercases TRUE/FALSE as keywords by default
