Poor SQL vs Sleek

Poor SQL reformats and colorizes T-SQL according to settings such as indentation, tab spacing, maximum width, and where statements and clauses break. It can expand comma lists, boolean and CASE expressions, and JOIN ON sections. Formatting runs in the browser, including offline, and the site says submitted SQL is not sent to an external service. Output views include input SQL, formatted SQL, and HTML source. An obfuscation and minification option can vary colors, line lengths, and keyword case, or substitute keywords. Downloads include plugins for SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio, and WinMerge, plus a command-line bulk formatter. The open-source Poor Man’s T-SQL Formatter library is AGPL-licensed and supports Microsoft.NET and Mono; its JavaScript library works in browsers and contexts such as Node.js. The project describes its parsing as coarse rather than full, especially for DDL. The free plan is free. Settings are remembered with a cookie; blocking cookies restores defaults on each visit.

Sleek is a command-line SQL formatter for applying consistent styles across SQL files. Its configurable options include indentation, keyword casing, and blank lines between queries. You can pass file paths or glob patterns, or provide input through standard input when no paths are supplied. The `--check` flag reports whether files are formatted without changing them. Sleek supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle. Its VS Code extension can format documents or selections, check formatting, and optionally format on save or paste; it can also download the CLI when it is not found. The CLI is available as compiled binaries or through Cargo, which requires Rust, and the project directs users to choose a binary for their operating system and architecture. Sleek is available under the MIT License, with formatting handled by the `sqlformat` crate. Building release v0.4.0 requires Rust 1.85 or later. The listed plan is free, with a free plan and no free trial.
