SQL Minifier
Remove unnecessary whitespace and line breaks from SQL queries for compact output.
How to Use the SQL Minifier
Paste formatted SQL and minify it by removing unnecessary whitespace and line breaks while keeping the query logic intact. This is useful for compact storage, logs or generated code.
Practical Example
A multi-line SELECT statement with indentation can be reduced to a single compact statement that produces the same result when executed.
Factors That Affect the Result
Comments, quoted strings, database-specific syntax and whitespace-sensitive edge cases can affect safe minification. Always test compacted SQL before production use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does minifying SQL change its logic?
It should not when only unnecessary formatting is removed.
Are comments removed?
Depending on implementation, comments may be stripped during minification.
Can I make the SQL readable again?
Yes, use the SQL Formatter to restore structured indentation.
