Display mysql results nicely
Hi, perhaps this is a dumb question.

I'm running queries on mysql and I'm getting tabbed results like these:


Code:
mysql> SELECT * from metrics_status WHERE date = '2012-03-30';
<TABLE BORDER=1><TR><TH>name</TH><TH>status</TH><TH>lastupdate</TH><TH>date</TH></TR><TR><TD>lobby</TD><TD>CALCULATION_FINISHED</TD><TD>2012-03-30 11:06:46</TD><TD>2012-03-30</TD></TR><TR><TD>plasma</TD><TD>CALCULATION_FINISHED</TD><TD>2012-03-30 12:32:32</TD><TD>2012-03-30</TD></TR><TR><TD>blaze</TD><TD>CALCULATION_FINISHED</TD><TD>2012-03-30 10:17:35</TD><TD>2012-03-30</TD></TR><TR><TD>blazev3</TD><TD>CALCULATION_FINISHED</TD><TD>2012-04-01 16:20:08</TD><TD>2012-03-30</TD></TR></TABLE>4 rows in set (0.08 sec)

Is there a way to display that nicely? Withouth all the TDs and TRs.

Should you need more info

Code:
$ uname -a
Linux - 2.6.18-92.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:31:30 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ mysql -V

Hi there.
Showing results formatted with html table tags isn't the default behavior of MySQL.
Perhaps your MySQL configuration file (my.cnf) was modified.
Try calling the MySQL client command with the --table (or -t) option, like this:
Code:
mysql -uuser -puserpassword --table

Obviously, remember to change the user and userpassword mentioned above for something that is suitable for your needs.
If that works, take a look at your my.cnf file (Usually, this file is located at /etc/my.cnf) and look for something mentioning the html option.
That' it. Hope it helps you! Good luck mate!
