Sqlfmt: an opinionated online SQL formatter

I never understood why people want to uppercase anything. It's like source code from 1970, when even bold highlight was something unavailable and developers used uppercase for keywords. I don't uppercase SQL, I prefer software which does proper highlighting.

When I see non uppercased SQL I think I’m reading it from some hipster that just discovered e e cummings and that makes me angry. Added to the fact that I’m writing SQL so I’m already angry (thanks poster above! I’m stealing that).

But seriously upper case helps my eyes focus on the sql commands so that I have some sort of hand hold on the wall of text.

Originally, back in the Roman era, you had to delimit your VPDATE statements with interpuncts.
