SQL Checker (Oracle)

Paste your SQL and run a quick Oracle-focused check. It flags common non-Oracle syntax (like LIMIT, TOP, ISNULL, backticks) and basic structural problems (unclosed quotes/comments, unbalanced parentheses). It’s a lightweight linter—not a full Oracle parser.

FAQ

Does this tool fully validate Oracle SQL syntax?

No. It’s a lightweight checker for common Oracle-incompatible patterns and basic structural problems (quotes, comments, parentheses).

Why does it flag LIMIT or TOP?

LIMIT (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and TOP (SQL Server) aren’t Oracle syntax; Oracle typically uses FETCH FIRST n ROWS ONLY or ROWNUM.

Oracle says “missing FROM” — what should I do?

Oracle usually requires a FROM; for literal selects use FROM dual (example: SELECT 1 FROM dual).

Why is “FROM table AS t” flagged?

Oracle doesn’t allow AS for table aliases. Use FROM table t (drop AS).

How should I write null-handling in Oracle?

Use NVL(expr, replacement) or COALESCE(...) instead of ISNULL()/IFNULL().

Is my SQL uploaded anywhere?

No network calls are made by the tool’s JavaScript; it runs in-page.

Can it check PL/SQL blocks too?

It can still detect basic quote/comment/parenthesis issues, but it won’t deeply validate PL/SQL syntax.
