The sqlmc format help: it formats SQL files in place and needs no connection or workspace.

Format 23 script file(s) in place? Each file is rewritten on disk.

The formatter works on a token stream, never a parse tree. That is why your comments survive it — a formatter that reconstructs SQL from parsed structure drops them.

Defaults, which are what you get:


Keyword case	Upper
Indent	4 spaces
`SELECT` list	One item per line
`AND` / `OR` in `WHERE` and `ON`	Start a new line
Consecutive blank lines	Collapsed to one

These are not configurable in this release — there is no formatter section in Settings.
