MariaDB SQL Minifier
Free online MariaDB SQL minifier. Compress MariaDB queries to a single line while preserving SEQUENCE syntax, dynamic columns, CTEs, RETURNING clauses, and MariaDB extensions.
What is MariaDB?
MariaDB is a community-developed, open-source relational database forked from MySQL in 2009 by the original MySQL developers. It is a drop-in replacement for MySQL in most cases but has evolved with additional features including SEQUENCE objects, temporal tables, and more advanced JSON support.
MariaDB extends MySQL with features like RETURNING clauses in DML statements, INVISIBLE columns, WITH TIES in LIMIT, dynamic columns (schemaless data stored in BLOB columns), and improvements to the optimizer and storage engines. It is widely used in enterprise Linux distributions as the default MySQL alternative.
The MariaDB formatter handles MariaDB-specific extensions — SEQUENCE syntax, RETURNING, dynamic column functions, and CTEs — ensuring your MariaDB queries are clearly formatted and easy to review.
Frequently asked questions
Will MariaDB SEQUENCE syntax be preserved when minifying?
Yes. MariaDB's SEQUENCE syntax (NEXT VALUE FOR, PREVIOUS VALUE FOR) is preserved exactly. Only surrounding whitespace and comments are removed.
Are MariaDB CTEs safely minified?
Yes. WITH ... AS (...) and WITH RECURSIVE CTEs are collapsed to a single line correctly, with all subquery contents preserved inline.
Will dynamic column expressions be preserved?
Yes. MariaDB's dynamic column functions (COLUMN_CREATE, COLUMN_GET, COLUMN_CHECK) are treated as standard function calls and minified with their arguments preserved.
Why minify MariaDB SQL?
Minified SQL is useful when embedding queries in application configuration, ORM raw query strings, or log analysis tools where single-line SQL is easier to parse.
