VS Code

SQL Format Desk

SQL Format Desk formats SQL in VS Code, then re-tokenizes the result and compares it with the original. If a single token would change, nothing is applied. Dialect detection covers T-SQL, PostgreSQL, PL/SQL, MySQL, BigQuery, SQLite, and a generic fallback. The extension is offline and has no telemetry.

What it does

• Format document, format selection, and format on save.
• Auto-detects the dialect. The status bar shows it, and you can override it.
• Preview diff before apply. Indent, keyword case, and leading or trailing commas are configurable.
• Pro is planned, and not for sale yet: procedure and function body formatting, a shared .sqlformat.json, SQL inside JS, Python, or PHP strings, and lint hints.
• Formatting is built on sql-formatter (MIT).
