About BigQuery (GoogleSQL) SQL formatting
BigQuery uses GoogleSQL, a columnar warehouse dialect that looks familiar to SQL users but has important rules for nested and repeated data. A query can address a project, dataset, and table with backtick-quoted names, combine ordinary relational columns with ARRAY and STRUCT values, and use scripting statements in one request. Formatting those constructs as plain ANSI SQL often makes a query harder to review or can damage the boundary between a field path, a type, and an expression.
This BigQuery formatter is designed around the dialect details that matter in production. It keeps STRUCT constructors readable, aligns ARRAY literals and ARRAY_AGG clauses, and gives UNNEST joins a clear visual relationship to the repeated field they expand. GoogleSQL also supports the pipe operator, written |> , where each stage receives the relation produced by the previous stage. The formatter preserves that pipeline order and can break long WHERE, EXTEND, AGGREGATE, and ORDER BY stages according to the selected line-length options.
Use this page for GoogleSQL queries that mix CTEs, partition filters, nested records, window functions, or procedural statements. The native GoogleSQL parser validates the syntax before formatting, so comments, quoted identifiers, and complex expressions remain attached to the right part of the query. The editor starts with a BigQuery sample containing STRUCT, UNNEST-related data, and pipe syntax; replace it with your own SQL, choose the formatting rules you prefer, and inspect the Git-style diff before copying the result.
BigQuery readers also benefit from predictable formatting around SELECT * EXCEPT, SELECT * REPLACE, named windows, and scripting variables. Those features can make a short query carry a lot of meaning, especially when a nested field is expanded and then aggregated again. Keeping each stage on its own line makes partition predicates and projected fields easier to audit before a query is scheduled or charged to a warehouse project.
What's different about BigQuery formatting? GoogleSQL pipe stages, STRUCT and ARRAY values, and partition filters need clause boundaries that reflect relation flow. Example: FROM orders |> WHERE total > 1000 |> ORDER BY total DESC
BigQuery formatting highlights
- Native GoogleSQL & ZetaSQL AST parsing engine
- Full support for ARRAYs, STRUCTs, and UNNEST expressions
- GoogleSQL Pipe Syntax (|>) support
- Multi-statement procedural scripts & DDL formatting
- Backtick-escaped project and dataset identifiers
Standard GoogleSQL capitalization defaults to UPPERCASE keywords and lowercase function names. Pipe syntax requires strict operator sequencing. The editor above is already configured for BigQuery (GoogleSQL); format the included sample or replace it with a query from your own project.
BigQuery formatter FAQ
How does this BigQuery formatter differ from generic SQL formatters?
Generic formatters use simple regular expressions or ANSI parsers that corrupt BigQuery-specific constructs like STRUCT types, ARRAY brackets, and Pipe Syntax. Our formatter uses the native GoogleSQL AST parser engine for 100% semantic fidelity.
Is my SQL query saved or logged?
No. Queries are parsed and formatted in-memory solely to produce the output. SQL payloads are never persisted to disk or logged.
