Looking for an embeddable SQL beautifier or reformatter

I am looking for a Java open source beautifier or reformatter for SQL that I can use to clean up DDL statements that I am generating with openArchitectureWare.

Nothing in the answer to "Online Code Beautifier And Formatter" is of use to me and I have not been able to get Simple SQL Formatter to work for me.

Solution

  • UPDATE 2:

    org.hibernate.jdbc.util.BasicFormatterImpl got moved in release 4.0. It is now located at: org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.internal.BasicFormatterImpl.

    UPDATE 1:

    Technology marches on. As noted by Alex, org.hibernate.pretty.Formatter no longer exists as of version 3.3.2.GA. The replacement is org.hibernate.jdbc.util.BasicFormatterImpl:

    String formattedSQL = new BasicFormatterImpl().format(sql);

    ORIGINAL ANSWER:

    If you're using Hibernate, they've got one built-in: org.hibernate.pretty.Formatter

    String formattedSQL = new Formatter(sql).format();
