To adjust display settings of MySQL command line, use the /G at the end of MySQL queries instead of semicolon(;).
The syntax is as follows −
SELECT *FROM yourTableName \G
The above syntax adjusts the display settings. Here we will display records in row format from our sample ‘studenttable’ table which we created using CREATE −
mysql> create table StudentTable −> ( −> Id int, −> Name varchar(100) −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.65 sec)
To get all the records −
mysql> select *from StudentTable;
The following displays the records −
+------+---------+ | Id | Name | +------+---------+ | 1 | Carol | | 2 | John | | 3 | Johnson | +------+---------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The table ‘studenttable’ have some records that display all records in row format. The query is as follows to adjust display settings −
select *from studenttable \G
The following is the output −
*************************** 1. row *************************** Id: 1 Name: Carol *************************** 2. row *************************** Id: 2 Name: John *************************** 3. row *************************** Id: 3 Name: Johnson 3 rows in set (0.04 sec)
