NAME pg_format - PostgreSQL SQL syntax beautifier DESCRIPTION This SQL formatter/beautifier supports keywords from SQL-92, SQL-99, SQL-2003, SQL-2008, SQL-2011 and PostgreSQL specifics keywords. May works with any other databases too. pgFormatter can work as a console program or as a CGI. It will automatically detect his environment and output as text or as HTML following the context. Keywords highlighting will only be available in CGI context. Terminal/console execution Usage: pg_format [options] file.sql PostgreSQL SQL queries and PL/PGSQL code beautifier. Arguments: file.sql can be a file or use - to read query from stdin. Returning the SQL formatted to stdout or into a file specified with the -o | --output option. Options: -a | --anonymize : obscure all literals in queries, useful to hide confidential data before formatting. -b | --comma-start : in a parameters list, start with the comma (see -e) -B | --comma-break : in insert statement, add a newline after each comma -d | --debug : enable debug mode. Disabled by default. -e | --comma-end : in a parameters list, end with the comma (default) -f | --function-case N: Change the case of the reserved keyword. Default is unchanged: 0. Values: 0=>unchanged, 1=>lowercase, 2=>uppercase, 3=>capitalize. -F | --format STR : output format: text or html. Default: text. -h | --help : show this message and exit. -m | --maxlength SIZE : maximum length of a query, it will be cutted above the given size. Default: no truncate. -n | --nocomment : remove any comment from SQL code. -o | --output file : define the filename for the output. Default: stdout. -p | --placeholder re : set regex to find code that must not be changed. -s | --spaces size : change space indent, default 4 spaces. -S | --separator STR : dynamic code separator, default to single quote. -t | --format-type : try another formatting type for some statements. -u | --keyword-case N : Change the case of the reserved keyword. Default is uppercase: 2. Values: 0=>unchanged, 1=>lowercase, 2=>uppercase, 3=>capitalize. -v | --version : show pg_format version and exit. Examples: cat samples/ex1.sql | pg_format - pg_format -n samples/ex1.sql pg_format -f 2 -n -o result.sql samples/ex1.sql CGI context Install pg_format into your cgi-bin folder, grant execution on it as a CGI script (maybe you should add the .cgi extension) and get it from your favorite browser. Copy files logo_pgformatter.png and icon_pgformatter.ico in the CGI directory, pg_format.cgi look for them in the same repository. You have a live example without limitation than ten thousand characters in your SQL query here: http://sqlformat.darold.net/ pg_format will automatically detected that it is running in a CGI environment and will output all html code needed to run an online code formatter site. There's nothing more to do. INSTALLATION Download the tarball from github and unpack the archive as follow: tar xzf pgFormatter-x.x.tar.gz cd pgFormatter-x.x/ perl Makefile.PL make && sudo make install This will copy the Perl script pg_format in /usr/local/bin/pg_format directory by default and the man page into /usr/local/share/man/man1/pg_format.1. Those are the default installation directory for 'site' install. If you want to install all under /usr/ location, use INSTALLDIRS='perl' as argument of Makefile.PL. The script will be installed into /usr/bin/pg_format and the manpage into /usr/share/man/man1/pg_format.1. For example, to install everything just like Debian does, proceed as follow: perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor By default INSTALLDIRS is set to site. HINTS Formatting from VI With pgFormatter, you can just add the following line to your ~/.vimrc file: au FileType sql setl formatprg=/usr/local/bin/pg_format\ - This lets your gq commands use pgFormatter automagically. For example if you are on the first line, typing: ESC+gq+G will format the entire file. ESC+gq+2j will format the next two line. Thanks to David Fetter for the hint. Formatting from Atom If you use atom as your favorite editor you can install the pg-formatter package which is a Node.js wrapper of pgFormatter. Features: * Format selected text or a whole file via keyboard shortcut or command. * Format SQL files on save. Installation: Search for pg-formatter in Atom UI or get it via command line: apm install pg-formatter Usage: Hit Ctrl-Alt-F to format selected text (or a whole file) or define your shortcut: 'ctrl-alt-p': 'pg-formatter:format' Also, you can automatically format SQL files on save (disabled by default). You can download the package from url: https://atom.io/packages/pg-formatter the sources are available at https://github.com/gajus/pg-formatter Thanks to Alex Fedoseev for the atom package. Formatting from Visual Studio Thanks to Brady Holt a Visual Studio Code extension is available to formats PostgresSQL SQL using pgFormatter. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bradymholt.pgformatter For installation and use have a look at URL above. Prevent replacing code snippets Using -p or --placeholder command line option it is possible to keep code untouched by pgFormatter in your SQL queries. For example, in query like: SELECT * FROM projects WHERE projectnumber IN <<internalprojects>> AND username = <<loginname>>; you may want pgFormatter to not interpret << and >> as bit-shift keywords and modify your code snippets. You can use a Perl regular expression to instruct pgFormatter to keep some part of the query untouched. For example: pg_format samples/ex9.sql -p '<<(?:.*)?>>' will not format the bit-shift like operators. Prevent dynamic code formatting By default pgFormatter takes all code between single quote as string constant and do not perform any formatting on this code. It is common to use a string as code separator to avoid doubling single quote in dynamic code generation, in this case pgFormatter can fail to auto detect the code separator. By default it will search for any string after the EXECUTE keyword starting with dollar sign. If it can not auto detect your code separator you can use the command line option -S or --separator to set the code separator that must be used. Node.js thin-wrapper Gajus Kuizinas has written a Node.js wrapper for executing pgFormatter. You can find it at https://github.com/gajus/pg-formatter Customize CSS for the CGI output You can change the HTML style rendered through the default CSS style by creating a file named custom_css_file.css into the pgFormatter CGI script directory. The default CSS will be fully overridden by this custom file content. You have to look at the generated HTML output to get the default CSS code used.
