About SQL Formatter
The SQL Formatter transforms a SQL statement into a more readable format by automatically indenting and aligning the text, keeping a consistent SQL layout throughout the source code, and hence making the SQL statement easier to understand and read. The SQL Formatter not only formats the SQL statement but also checks its syntax, and highlights variables, DB2 optimizer SQL options, and comments.
SQL Formatter Window
The SQL Formatter window is divided into two sections:
Original SQL (Left pane)
Provides an area for entering the SQL statement to be formatted.
Formatted SQL (Right pane)
Displays the formatted SQL statement. Host variables, SQL options and comments are color-coded for easy recognition.
