Formatting a Query - SQL Assistant

Formatting a Query

The query formatting feature adds line breaks and indentation before certain keywords, making SQL that comes from automatic code generators or other sources more readable.

To format a query

1 Ensure a statement exists in the Query Window.

2 Do one of the following:

On the toolbar, click .

Right-click in the Query Window, then click Format Query

Press Ctrl+Q

Select Edit > Format Query

Note: Some keywords cause a line break and possibly cause the new line to be indented. If a keyword is found to already be the first word on a line and it is already prefixed by a tab character, its indentation level does not change.
