adjusting the command line client width

[Slippenos]

I am new to MySQL. I was wondering if there were a way to adjust the width of the MySQL command line client. I am able to adjust it vertically, but thats it.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advace.

Do you mean that the results are wrapping around the 80-column limit, making it hard to read? You could display the results in vertical format instead, by either using the -E or --vertical command-line option.

Good tip. Researching your tip I found that '\G' worked best. For anyone else who comes across this thread:

SELECT *
FROM vendors \G

This will display your results vertically as opposed to horizontally.
