It uses indentation and case normalization (uppercasing keywords, lowercasing identifiers) to enhance readability and make query structure immediately apparent. The formatter handles SELECT and CREATE TABLE/VIEW statements, including subqueries and joins, and can be invoked from the command line on individual files or batches, integrated into pre-commit hooks, or called directly from Python code.\n\nThe package includes basic validation to catch common mistakes like forgotten semicolons, unbalanced parentheses, and mismatched CASE/WHEN/END blocks. It does not parse SQL into data structures, validate queries against a specific database system, or format other SQL commands like INSERT or UPDATE. The project is no longer actively maintained as of April 2022, so it may not reflect current SQL standards or work seamlessly with the latest Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight, dependency-free SQL formatter for SELECT and CREATE statements and can tolerate an unmaintained codebase. The permissive Apache license and zero runtime dependencies make it low-friction to add. However, do not rely on it for production systems handling modern SQL dialects or requiring ongoing support\u2014test thoroughly with your SQL patterns first, and consider alternatives if you need active maintenance or broader SQL command support."},"id":"sql-formatter","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sql-formatter","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sql-formatter.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sql-formatter/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sql-formatter","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A SQL formatter"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":854612,"position":4894,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
