Quickly format your SQL / TSQL statements in HTML and CSS for use in websites with Poor SQL instant, free and open-source, online formatting. This easy to use and very useful website show three tabs and a column with formatting parameters.

"Input SQL" tab

In the tab "Input SQL" you can enter your source code.

-- a sql query with comment
select * from Customers where Customer.Country = "NL"

"Formatted SQL" tab

Go to the tab "Formatted SQL" and see how the end result will look.

-- a sql query with comment
SELECT *
FROM Customers
WHERE Customer.Country = "NL"

"HTML Source" tab

The Tab "HTML Source" shows you the HTML source and CSS to copy and paste in your Content Management System such as WebHalla™.

<pre class="SQLCode"><span class="SQLComment">-- a sql query with comment</span>
<span class="SQLKeyword">SELECT</span> <span class="SQLOperator">*</span>
<span class="SQLKeyword">FROM</span> Customers
<span class="SQLKeyword">WHERE</span> Customer<span class="SQLOperator">.</span>Country <span class="SQLOperator">=</span> &quot;NL&quot;
</pre>

Hint: If you have a lot of SQL queries on your website, copy the HTML styles into your CSS file and reuse.
