What is the SQL Minifier?
The reverse operation: collapse a formatted query into a single line for embedding in application code, a migration string, a JSON config or a log line. Comments go, runs of whitespace become single spaces, and the statement stays exactly equivalent.
How to use it
- Paste the formatted SQL.
- Choose whether to strip comments and whether to keep the trailing semicolon.
- Press Minify (or Ctrl/Cmd + Enter), then copy the single-line result.
Example
A formatted query collapsed for embedding in code.
Input
SELECT id -- only active rows FROM users WHERE active = true;
Result
SELECT id FROM users WHERE active = true;
Features
- Collapses all insignificant whitespace to single spaces
- Removes line (--) and block (/* */) comments, optionally keeping hints
- Preserves string literals and quoted identifiers byte for byte
- Before/after character counts
Frequently asked questions
Are optimiser hints removed?
Only if you ask. MySQL and Oracle carry hints inside /*+ ... */ comments, which are semantically meaningful, so they are preserved by default.
Should I really put SQL on one line in my code?
Usually not — a multi-line string or a .sql file is far more maintainable. Minifying is for the cases where the query has to be a single-line value, such as a config field or a structured log.
