#### SQL query formatter, DDL schema ER diagram studio, and vector/PDF exporter

SQL Query Formatter is a desktop SQL tokenizer, pretty-printer, DDL Entity-Relationship
diagram studio, and vector/document exporter for Linux developers and database engineers.
Format complex multi-CTE SELECT queries, joins, CASE expressions, DML statements, and
CREATE TABLE DDL locally on your desktop without uploading schemas to external services.

Key Features:

* SQL Tokenizer & Pretty-Printer: Pure-Python SQL lexer and formatter supporting
  SELECT, WITH CTEs, JOINs, CASE expressions, INSERT, UPDATE, and CREATE TABLE
  with UPPER/lower/Title keyword casing, configurable indent width, trailing or
  comma-first style, dialect awareness, syntax highlighting, and compact Minifier.
* Visual ER Diagram Studio: Parses CREATE TABLE DDL (PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY
  REFERENCES) into an interactive, draggable, auto-laid-out Entity-Relationship
  diagram rendered with QPainter featuring table cards, PK/FK badges, and crow's-foot
  relationship connectors.
* Schema & Diagram Exporter: Exports formatted .sql scripts, standalone vector SVG
  diagrams, high-DPI PNG renders, and print-ready vector PDF documents via QPdfWriter.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install SQL Query Formatter

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
