8.5.4.1. Displaying Query Results Vertically
Some query results are much more readable when displayed
vertically, instead of in the usual horizontal table format.
Queries can be displayed vertically by terminating the query
with \G instead of a semicolon. For example, longer text
values that include newlines often are much easier to read
with vertical output:
mysql> SELECT * FROM mails WHERE LENGTH(txt) < 300 LIMIT 300,1\G

Yes, please do that.
