I am using mysql
command line client in terminal emulator lxterminal
in Ubuntu. When I run the following command:
mysql> select * from routines where routine_name = "simpleproc";
The output is a mess:
But if I copy and paste it here, the output shows me a nice table:
mysql> select * from routines where routine_name = "simpleproc";

I wonder if it is possible to view the output in a terminal emulator as a nice table like this one?
