Hi @bart-schaefer,
Unfortunately, the CLI terminator \G is not supported by the drivers in use by Antares, and I am also not aware that it is usable with other GUI clients.
I understand your need to be able to display optimally formatted text. I may consider implementing a shortcut to display the contents of text cells in a window where they retain formatting, similar to what happens when double-clicking on a field of type TEXT.
Columns in some of our tables contain formatted text. It's difficult to work with this when displayed in a horizontal grid row. It is also sometimes useful to view SHOW CREATE TABLE output (rather than DESCRIBE), which is also unwieldy in a grid display.
MySQL client supports alternate query terminator
\G
to specify vertical display of labeled columns. Example:Currently I run the query with
;
(or with no terminator if it's the only query in the editor) and then copy-paste from a column into the query editor or the scratchpad in order to see the full value including line breaks.MySQL client also supports
\g
(lowercase) as equivalent to;
, it would be nice if that did not produce a syntax error.
