Mysql advanced output

Question

I come from postgresql to mysql, curious if mysql has an extended output flag similar to the postgresql extension?

i.e.: in psql, I could get extended output \ x

id | name ---+----- 1 | foo 

in

 -[ Record ]------ id | 1 name | foo 

how can i do this in mysql?

Answer 1

try SELECT foo FROM bla\G instead of SELECT foo FROM bla;
