             Summary: Support vertical listing in cqlsh
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8127
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8127
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Jens Rantil
            Priority: Minor


MySQL CLI has this neat feature that you can end queries with `\G` and it will 
each result row vertically. For tables with many columns, or for users with 
vertical screen orientation or smaller resolution, this is highly useful. Every 
time I start `cqlsh` I feel this feature would be highly useful for some of the 
tables that have many columns. See example below:

{noformat}
mysql> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+------+------+------+
| a    | b    | c    |
+------+------+------+
|    1 |    2 |    3 |
|    4 |    5 |    6 |
|    6 |    7 |    8 |
+------+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM testtable\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
a: 1
b: 2
c: 3
*************************** 2. row ***************************
a: 4
b: 5
c: 6
*************************** 3. row ***************************
a: 6
b: 7
c: 8
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
{noformat}
