Description:
When many columns are selected, the total padding spaces added in each column will make the width of each line too long to display, it will be displayed as 2+ lines in DOS window. If padding spaces are removed, it will reduce the width of output line.
Example:
[code]
-- With padding spaces

How to repeat:
issue a SELECT command in mysql.exe, such as:
select now(), now(), now(), now(), now(), now(), now(), now()
Suggested fix:
add an option to add/remove the padding space
if default behaviour of mysql.exe is WITH_PADDING_SPACE, then add a --remove-padding-spaces option
if default behaviour of mysql.exe is WITHOUT_PADDING_SPACE, then add a --add-padding-spaces option
