Just another SQL beautifier

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Sayan Malakshinov Posted in oracle, SQL*Plus, SQL*PLus tips 6 Comments

Previously i wrote beautifier in perl, but it was not so good, so i decided to write it in java using popular BlancoSQLFormatter library.
So you can download it now: https://orasql.org/scripts/SQLBeautifier.jar
Usage:

java -jar SQLBeautifier.jar your_file.sql

or

echo select * from dual | java -jar SQLBeautifier.jar

You certainly can conveniently use it within sql*plus with script like that:

set timing off head off termout off
col qtext format a150
prompt ################################  Original query text:  ################################################;
#spool &_SPOOLS/to_format.sql
spool to_format.sql
select
    coalesce(
        (select sql_fulltext from v$sqlarea a where a.sql_id='&1')
    ,   (select sql_text from dba_hist_sqltext a where a.sql_id='&1' and dbid=(select dbid from v$database))
    ) qtext
from dual
;
spool off

prompt ################################  Formatted query text #################################################;
#host perl inc/sql_format_standalone.pl &_SPOOLS/to_format.sql
host java -jar SQLBeautifier.jar to_format.sql
prompt ################################  Formatted query text End #############################################;
set termout on head on

Example:
beautifier2
