No database, no risk

This builder only ever produces text — it never connects to or runs anything against a real database.

How to use the SQL query builder

Build a SELECT statement piece by piece without memorizing clause order.

  1. Set the table and columnsName your table, then add columns as chips, or leave the list empty for *.
  2. Add WHERE conditionsPick a column, operator and value for each row, joining extra rows with AND or OR.
  3. Sort and limitChoose an ORDER BY column and direction, set a LIMIT, and copy the finished query.

About the SELECT clauses

A SELECT statement is built from a handful of clauses that always appear in the same order: what to select, from where, which rows qualify, how to sort them, and how many to return. Understanding that order makes it much easier to read or write SQL by hand later.

SELECT and columns

Lists exactly which columns to return. An asterisk (*) returns every column, which is convenient for exploring but slower and less explicit in production queries.

WHERE conditions

Filters rows before they are returned. Each condition compares a column against a value using an operator like =, >, LIKE or IS NULL, joined by AND or OR.

ORDER BY

Sorts the result set by one column, ascending (default, smallest first) or descending (largest first).

LIMIT

Caps how many rows come back, which is useful for pagination or simply previewing a large table without pulling every row.

SQL query builder FAQ

Questions about how the generated query behaves.

Does this tool run the query against a real database?

No. This is a text generator only. It builds a formatted SELECT statement string from your choices; nothing is ever connected to or executed against a database.

How do I select every column?

Leave the column chip list empty, or use the default asterisk chip, and the generated query selects all columns with SELECT *.

How do AND and OR work across multiple WHERE rows?

The first WHERE row has no joiner. Every row after that has an AND or OR selector that connects it to the row above, and the generated query wraps the whole condition list in parentheses for clarity.

What does the IS NULL operator do with the value field?

IS NULL and IS NOT NULL ignore the value field entirely, since they test whether a column has no value at all rather than comparing it to something.

Is my data saved or sent anywhere?

No. The SQL text is generated locally in your browser as you type, and nothing is stored or transmitted.
