Our verdict on SQL Pretty Printer
SQL Pretty Printer is a SQL formatting and beautification tool from Gudu Software for developers, database teams, and organizations standardizing SQL across different database systems. Its free online formatter supports more than 30 dialects, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and BigQuery. The product also covers offline formatting, query dataflow visualization, database-object and XML output, and SQL-to-code conversion for Java, C#, PHP, VB, and Delphi.
The free online formatter provides a low-commitment way to format SQL and produce plain-text, HTML, or RTF output. Paid options are structured as separate products: the Desktop Version, Visual Studio Add-In, and SSMS Add-In are each priced at $50 one-time. The Desktop Version adds offline formatting, command-line batch conversion, and more than 80 format options. The Visual Studio Add-In formats selected or all SQL, applies predefined layout rules, and supports SQL with C#/VB.NET conversion. The SSMS Add-In offers formatting inside SQL Server Management Studio, predefined layout rules, and more than 80 format options.
Platform fit is the main differentiator. SQL Pretty Printer runs online and on Windows, with integrations for Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio, Microsoft Query Analyzer, UltraEditor, and Notepad. That makes it a practical choice for teams working in Microsoft-oriented desktop tools or handling SQL across many dialects. Buyers seeking broad dialect support, command-line conversion, visualization, or desktop editor extensions should consider it. Teams that need deeper CI coverage or a single paid package spanning all desktop add-ins should look for a more automation-focused or consolidated alternative.
