Share SQL Queries Online — Highlighted & Instant
Debugging a slow query? Reviewing a migration? Need someone to sanity-check your JOIN? DropText makes sharing SQL beautiful. Paste your query, get instant syntax highlighting with keywords, functions, and strings color-coded, then share via a link. Real-time editing means you can iterate on queries together. No database client needed on the viewer's side.

Features
SQL syntax highlighting
SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN — all SQL keywords are highlighted. Functions, strings, and numbers are visually distinct.
Real-time collaboration
Iterate on queries together in real-time. No more sending 15 revised versions over email.
One-click copy
Viewers can copy the query with one click and paste it directly into their database client.
Password protection
Queries referencing sensitive tables? Lock the link with a password. (Pro feature)
Auto-expiry
Query debugging is temporary. Set 1-hour expiry so old queries don't linger.
Mobile viewer
Review SQL on your phone. DropText formats queries cleanly even on small screens.

Common Problems Solved
Slack kills SQL formatting
Multi-line SQL in Slack becomes an unreadable block. DropText preserves formatting with proper highlighting.
Email mangles indentation
Emailed SQL loses indentation and structure. DropText preserves your exact formatting.
Screenshots can't be copied
DBA sends a screenshot of the query? Can't copy it. DropText gives you selectable, copyable text.
SQL files need a client to open
.sql files require a database client or text editor. DropText renders them instantly in a browser.
