Oracle PL/SQL Code Formatter & Beautifier
Indent and beautify Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures, DECLARE...BEGIN...EXCEPTION...END blocks, packages, and %TYPE declarations.
How do I use Oracle PL/SQL Code Formatter & Beautifier?
Paste your Oracle SQL query, stored procedure, or anonymous `DECLARE...BEGIN...END;` block into the left editor.
Notice that Dialect is pre-configured to 'Oracle PL/SQL' with enterprise-standard '4 Spaces' indentation and 'UPPERCASE' keywords.
Review the structured PL/SQL output with aligned variable declarations, `:bind` variables, `:=` assignments, and `EXCEPTION WHEN` handlers.
Click 'Copy' to paste the formatted code into Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, SQL*Plus, or your migration script.
What features does Oracle PL/SQL Code Formatter & Beautifier offer?
Pre-configured for Oracle PL/SQL (`plsql` dialect) with 4-space enterprise indentation
Preserves PL/SQL assignment (`:=`), column attribute (`%TYPE`, `%ROWTYPE`), and named parameter (`=>`) operators
Formats procedural `DECLARE ... BEGIN ... EXCEPTION ... END;` blocks and `FORALL / BULK COLLECT` statements
Supports Oracle-specific SQL extensions (`CONNECT BY PRIOR`, `NVL`, `DECODE`, `SYSDATE`, `MERGE INTO`)
Pre-loaded with a realistic Oracle PL/SQL financial ledger settlement procedure
100% Client-Side privacy: banking, ERP, and telecommunications PL/SQL packages never leave your browser
Oracle PL/SQL Procedural Block Structure & Operator Rules
Unlike declarative SQL queries, Oracle PL/SQL combines procedural Ada-derived block syntax with embedded SQL statements and slash (`/`) buffer terminators.
| PL/SQL Construct | Operator / Keyword | Oracle Usage Example | Formatting Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Variable Assignment | := | v_net_amount := p_gross * 0.9; | Keeps := atomic with single spaces |
| Anchored Declarations | %TYPE / %ROWTYPE | v_bal accounts.balance%TYPE; | Attached directly to table.column |
| Named Association | => | pkg_audit.log(p_id => v_id); | Preserves arrow operator in calls |
| Exception Handling | EXCEPTION WHEN ... THEN | WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN | Indents handler body under EXCEPTION |
How is Oracle PL/SQL Code Formatter & Beautifier used in real-world workflows?
Refactoring Legacy PL/SQL Packages Without Uploading Code
Financial institutions and telecoms prohibit pasting proprietary PL/SQL packages into server-based tools—format 1,000-line procedures 100% locally in your browser.
Beautifying Embedded PL/SQL Processes & Triggers
Standardize indentation across `BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE` triggers and Oracle APEX dynamic action PL/SQL blocks.
Reading Unformatted `DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL` Dumps
Format dense DDL and procedure dumps extracted from `ALL_SOURCE` or `DBMS_METADATA` before translating business logic.
Frequently Asked Questions about Oracle PL/SQL Code Formatter & Beautifier
Does this formatter break Oracle `:=` assignments or `%TYPE` declarations?
No. When 'Oracle PL/SQL' is selected, `:=`, `=>`, `%TYPE`, `%ROWTYPE`, and `:bind_var` placeholders are recognized as native PL/SQL tokens and formatted without inserting erroneous spaces.
Why does Oracle PL/SQL require a forward slash (`/`) on a new line at the end?
In SQL*Plus, SQLcl, and Oracle SQL Developer script runners, semicolons (`;`) terminate individual statements *inside* the PL/SQL block, while a standalone forward slash (`/`) on the final line instructs the client to compile and execute the entire buffered PL/SQL block.
Why is 4-space indentation pre-selected on the PL/SQL formatter?
Oracle SQL Developer and Steven Feuerstein's PL/SQL coding conventions recommend 3 or 4 spaces per block level (`DECLARE` -> `BEGIN` -> `IF` -> `LOOP`) for readability in deeply nested procedural code. You can toggle between 2 Spaces, 4 Spaces, and Tabs at any time.
Is my proprietary Oracle PL/SQL code kept confidential?
Yes. 100% of the parsing and formatting runs inside your local browser memory with zero network calls.
