SQL minifier
Compress SQL queries by stripping comments and collapsing whitespace into a single line. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
What is SQL minification?
SQL minification is the reverse of formatting: it compresses a query into the most compact form possible by removing comments, line breaks, and redundant whitespace. The resulting query is logically identical but occupies far less space.
Unlike JavaScript or CSS minification, SQL minification is straightforward because SQL ignores whitespace outside of string literals. This tool carefully preserves string content while collapsing everything else.
When to use a SQL minifier
- Embedding queries in application source code as string literals
- Passing SQL through URL query parameters or API payloads
- Storing queries in environment variables or configuration files
- Reducing the size of SQL in log messages or audit trails
- Preparing SQL for inline use in ORMs or query builders
Stop hand-writing SQL for dashboards
If you're embedding SQL in code to power charts and dashboards, Basedash can eliminate that workflow. Describe the metric or visualization you need and Basedash generates, executes, and renders it — connected to your real database. No manual query strings to manage.
