Common errors

The user expects formatted readable output instead of compact output.

Fix: Use the SQL formatter if readability matters more than size.

Dialect-specific comments or syntax are handled unexpectedly.

Fix: Review the result manually if your SQL uses unusual database-specific features.

The user expects optimization rather than minification.

Fix: Remember that minification reduces size and whitespace, not execution cost.
