If you’ve ever spent way too long trying to debug an SQL query, you know how annoying it can get. Whether you’re a seasoned dev, a DBA, or just starting out, syntax errors can seriously mess with your flow.
That’s why the dbdiagram team put together this simple SQL Validator—it’s free and it’ll save you a ton of time.
Here’s what it does for you:
• Missing Semicolon – Reminds you if you forget to add that pesky semicolon at the end.
• SELECT * Queries – Suggests being more specific with your SELECT statements for better performance.
• Missing WHERE Clause – Catches queries that could return too many rows and nudges you to add a WHERE clause.
• JOIN/WHERE Index Checks – If you’ve got schema mode on, it’ll check whether your JOIN or WHERE columns are indexed.
• Complex Subqueries, Window Functions, and LIKE with Leading Wildcards – Spots those performance bottlenecks and gives you suggestions like using CTEs or materialized views.
And much more!
