[jira] Commented: (HIVE-355) print column:value format in hive cli "select * limit k"

["Edward Capriolo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-355?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12972204#action_12972204 ] 

Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-355:
--------------------------------------

I understand the idea to support \G. However that will actually be tricky. Currently a ticket is open to print column headers that uses a set variable. We could add a variable that outputs in this matter but \G would be hacky. Is that ok?

> For tables with a lot of columns, it's very difficult to actually match up column to value. MySQL supports a \G terminator that causes it to print in a colname: value format which is very nice for this sort of thing.
