What is SQL Minification?
SQL minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters from SQL queries without changing their functionality. This includes removing comments, extra whitespace, and line breaks. Minified SQL queries are smaller and can be more efficient to transmit and store, especially useful for embedded SQL in applications or when storing queries in databases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my SQL data private?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your SQL queries are never sent to any server, making this tool 100% client-side and completely private.
Does minification affect query performance?
No. SQL minification only removes whitespace, comments, and line breaks. The database engine receives a functionally identical query that executes with the same performance as the original formatted version.
Can I minify stored procedures?
Yes. You can paste stored procedures, functions, triggers, and any other SQL code into the minifier. It will remove unnecessary whitespace and comments while preserving the SQL syntax and functionality.
