Frequently Asked Questions
Which SQL dialects are supported?
The formatter uses `sqlparse` which handles standard SQL syntax. It works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and most SQL dialects for formatting purposes.
Does it validate SQL syntax?
No. The formatter only reformats the text — it does not parse or validate SQL semantics.
