How to Format SQL for Faster Reviews

Split major SQL clauses into cleaner lines so queries are easier to scan, discuss, and debug.

Readable clauses reduce review fatigue

A compressed query can be hard to reason about even when it is short. Breaking clauses onto their own lines makes logic and filters easier to inspect quickly.

A lightweight formatter is often enough

You do not always need a heavy SQL tool to clean up a query. For docs, tickets, and quick reviews, a browser formatter can be enough to make the query usable.
