SQL Query Diff

Place two queries in the input separated by the indicated marker to highlight changed lines. A diff is useful when a query changes during debugging or a code review.

No account required for basic use. Check the tool notes before using sensitive data.

What this tool helps you do

Check changes to filters, joins, selected columns, and grouping before adopting a revised query. A textual diff does not prove that two queries return the same result.

How to use SQL Query Diff

  1. Open the tool using the button above.
  2. Paste or enter a small representative sample in the input area.
  3. Run the tool and review the output for correctness.
  4. Copy or save the result only after checking important values and edge cases.

Example input

SELECT id FROM users;
-- QUERY B --
SELECT id, name FROM users;

Tips and limitations

Use Table Comparator to compare exported CSV results rather than query text.
