Description:
Feature request to have:
1. An option to - enable or disable echoing of the commands executed by the server - from the command line.
Currently, if you want to see the commands then you need to type mysql -vvv and this is for the whole session.
In many cases it's convenient to control this echoing more granularly and not echo some parts of a script but echo others.
Please ad an option within the mysql client to allow the user/DBA to toggle this output as needed.
2. The same for tab output (normally -t from command line)
3. The display of headings
How to repeat:
Start mysql client with -vvv, observe output. Feature request is to be able to control this output (activate/de-activate vvv verbosity) at will from within the mysql client. Same for -t or headings/no-headings.
Suggested fix:
Could look something like the warnings/nowarnings option:
warnings (\W) Show warnings after every statement.
nowarning (\w) Don't show warnings after every statement.
Perhaps:
echo (\F) Echo each statement prior to execution.
noecho (\f) Don't echo each statement prior to execution.
tab (\V) Return output in a tabular format.
notab (\v) Return output in the standard format.
headings (\I) Return output including headings.
noheadings (\i) Return output without headings.
