Intro
MySQL client command must be common to you (mysql), with this small tip you should be able to redirect the output commands to any program?
Implementation
To do this, simply use the pager command, followed by the name of the program to redirect the output.
Example:
mysql>pager more
PAGER set to 'more'
mysql>
The next time the result of a command exceeds one page, you simply press the space bar to move from page to page:)
Reset default pager
To return to the default pager, use the command "
nopager":
mysql> nopager
PAGER set to stdout
mysql>
Examples of use: (under Linux/Unix)
- In order to search an item, ... in the output:
- To view only the tables with a particular name (no case sensitive).
mysql>show tables;
