A small free .NET and JavaScript library for reformatting and colorizing T-SQL code according to user preferences. It ships with multiple integrations including a command-line bulk formatter, SSMS/Visual Studio add-ins, Notepad++ and WinMerge plugins, and a demo webpage.

Use cases

• format t-sql code
• pretty print sql server scripts
• bulk reformat many sql files from the command line
• add sql formatting to notepad++ or ssms
• colorize t-sql as html
• format sql in the browser with javascript

When to choose

• you work with T-SQL / SQL Server specifically and want configurable formatting
• you need fault-tolerant formatting that survives unknown or malformed SQL constructs
• you want a formatter usable from .NET, JavaScript, CLI, or common editors like SSMS and Notepad++

When to avoid

• you need a full SQL parser or strict AST guarantees - parsing is deliberately coarse
• you need other SQL dialects like PostgreSQL or MySQL - only T-SQL is supported
• you need exact preservation of comment placement in all cases
