This collection of content will provide an overview of SQL formatter tools, with product page links for each of the tools. If you noticed a SQL formatter tool we missed, please let us know in the comments below.

We looked at a lot of SQL Query formatter tools that make pretty SQL code, but we created a list of the top desktop tools only. We did not include SQL formatter online variants. The list includes tools that format T-SQL both as stand alone tools but also as SSMS add-ins. They include both free tools as well as commercially licensed SQL tools.

The SQL formatter tools are ordered alphabetically.
