To avoid formatting entirely, I think a great solution is to use procedures.

Calling a procedure gives you the result of whatever query you want to put in this procedure. You can actually process multiple queries within a procedure. The call will just return the last query that was called.

MYSQL

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS example;
 DELIMITER //
 CREATE PROCEDURE example()
   BEGIN
   SELECT 2+222+2222+222+222+2222+2222 AS this_is_a_really_long_string_test;
   END //
 DELIMITER;

#calling the procedure gives you the result of whatever query you want to put in this procedure. You can actually process multiple queries within a procedure. The call just returns the last query result
 call example;

Python

sql =('call example;')
