About pgFormatter

pgFormatter is a SQL and PL/pgSQL formatter/beautifier that supports keywords from SQL-92, SQL-99, SQL-2003, SQL-2008, SQL-2011 and PostgreSQL specifics keywords. May works with any other databases too. It shares the same code with pgBadger, so any improvement made in the parser is reversed to pgBadger. Tool created and maintained by Gilles Darold.

pgFormatter works on any platform and is available under the PostgreSQL license.
