    More accurate title would be “The case against auto-formatting SQL”. It’s the “auto” part that’s relevant here.

      These examples left me with two wishes:

      1. Pattern matching
      2. Functions

      I’d rewrite the examples but they’re screenshots???

        I agree with the article/author. I only have to share that the automatic output of pg_format has mostly been satisfying for me.
