SQL Beautifier
There can be nothing more unpleasant than trying to make sense of a 1 line SQL statement with 400 joins, or if you’ve ever tried rotating a MySQL table, the code can be equally as hard to understand. Which is why I use this tool religiously to make sure the resultant SQL in the source is easy to read!
