Poor SQL vs SQLint

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.

SQLint is a free, MIT-licensed Python parser and linter for Standard SQL (BigQuery), intended for developers on Linux. It checks indentation, repeated spaces and blank lines, keyword casing, comma placement, bracket spacing, operator spacing, and join formatting. The `-f` option formats SQL, and automatic fixes are supported. Command-line use and Python imports for `parse`, `check`, and `format` are documented. The project also describes a configuration file, CI/CD integration, and Docker instructions for building and running the tool. Installation uses `pip install sqlint` or a repository clone. PyPI lists version 0.2.4, released October 22, 2019, with a source distribution and a platform-independent `py3-none-any` wheel. The package is classified as Alpha, and no free trial is listed because the package itself is free. The repository provides an Issues tracker for questions and reports. The documented SQL dialect is Standard SQL (BigQuery), with no third-party integrations listed on the opened page.
