About SQL Server (T-SQL) SQL formatting
SQL Server T-SQL has its own vocabulary for pagination, joins, identifiers, and procedural work. Bracketed names such as [Sales].[Orders] may contain spaces or reserved words, TOP can appear directly in a SELECT, and OFFSET-FETCH provides another pagination form. Queries also commonly use CROSS APPLY, OUTER APPLY, table variables, temporary tables, and semicolon-prefixed CTEs. Treating these constructs as generic SQL can hide their scope or separate an APPLY expression from the source it depends on.
This SQL Server formatter keeps bracket identifiers and their casing safe while organizing the clauses that make T-SQL distinctive. TOP expressions stay attached to SELECT, APPLY sources are indented like correlated joins, and window functions preserve their partition and ordering rules. CTEs, CASE expressions, date functions, and multi-statement scripts receive consistent indentation without rewriting the identifier style chosen by the author. The result is suitable for stored procedure reviews, query plans, and application-generated diagnostics.
The editor is preset to a T-SQL example using bracketed catalog names, CROSS APPLY, TOP, a CTE, and a window aggregate. Replace the sample with a query from SQL Server Management Studio or your application, then compare the original and formatted versions in the Git-style diff view. Formatting requests are ephemeral, so the page can be used for sensitive query cleanup without creating a server-side query history.
This is also helpful when moving a diagnostic query between SSMS, a migration repository, and application code. Keeping APPLY correlation, TOP scope, and bracketed names visually stable reduces the chance that a review mistake is mistaken for a formatter rewrite.
The page is intentionally useful for both SELECT statements and the larger scripts around them. A consistent presentation helps reviewers see when a CTE feeds an APPLY source, when TOP is scoped to a subquery, and when a bracketed identifier is part of a three-part name.
What's different about SQL Server formatting? T-SQL formatting keeps bracketed names, TOP, APPLY correlation, and window definitions in their native query scope. Example: SELECT TOP (100) * FROM [Sales].[Orders] ORDER BY [OrderDate] DESC;
SQL Server formatting highlights
- Microsoft ScriptDOM parser and generator with versioned T-SQL grammars
- Square bracket identifier escaping ([dbo].[TableName])
- TOP (N) and OFFSET-FETCH pagination clauses
- CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY joins
- Common Table Expressions (WITH CTE)
The output identifies the effective SQL Server grammar and whether structured layout or ScriptDOM fallback was used. The editor above is already configured for SQL Server (T-SQL); format the included sample or replace it with a query from your own project.
