PoorMansTSqlFormatter is a free and open-source online beautifier, with offline SSMS Add-In, command-line beautifier tool, and Notepad++ plugin.
The project aims to format any T-SQL (2000 or later) script, no matter the length or complexity.
Hope this helps!

As of 10.02.2022 the site is not reachable anymore.
T-SQL Tidy (dead link: http://www.tsqltidy.com) is a very good online SQL formatter/beautifier.
It has a lot of formatting options. Although it's targeted to T-SQL, it should work with most SQL dialects.
Solution 3 - Sql
There is a free online http://www.dpriver.com/pp/sqlformat.htm">Instant SQL Formatter. The site also sells some other versions (add-in for Visual Studio, for example), but the online version is free.

I was looking for the same in notepad++ and found a link that gives an idea of how to create your own formatting with macros: http://peoplesoft.wikidot.com/formatting-sql-in-notepad. Seems like it would work, but I'm going to use one of the SSMS Add-ins above. (Less work) Thanks!

I've always been a fan of navicat - http://www.navicat.com
Their lite version is free, but it still comes with the sql beautifier - http://www.navicat.com/en/products/navicat_premium/premium_feature.html
As an added bonus occasionally you'll find some chinglish hiding in odd places.
