You are correct, SQL Assistant's 'Format Query' is a simple tokenizer. (For many users that works fine...with possibly a little post-
cleanup. Note that sub queries [or any other block of lines] can be indented as a block simply by highlighting the sub query and pressing
the Tab key.)
We do not attempt to use a parser (there is no parser in SQLA at all) because the product is designed to work with all vendors SQL Syntax
... and I dont think it is possible to design a parser that could handle 6 or 7 diferent SQL languages at the same time.
