Will minifying SQL queries break string literals or text values?

No. Our tokenizer explicitly recognizes single quotes, double quotes, and backtick identifier boundaries so comments and spaces inside values are preserved exactly.

What types of SQL comments are removed?

Both standard ANSI single-line comments (--), MySQL-style hash comments (#), and C-style multiline block comments (/* ... */) are safely detected and removed.

Does SQL minification improve database performance?

Minification reduces network packet payload size when transmitting large batch migration scripts and lowers memory usage when embedding queries in source code.

Does this tool support dialect-specific SQL like PostgreSQL or MySQL?

Yes. The minifier works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Snowflake syntax.

Is my database query or schema information sent to any server?

No. Processing is executed 100% locally in your web browser using JavaScript. No network requests are made.
