Hi All,
This would be a mis-feature probably, but please bear with me.
Getting binary data dumped to a terminal is not fun.
Is there perhaps a way to set it such that *binary types would be
displayed/presented as hex string rather than raw binary? In particular
when using CLI tools?
I'm aware of the HEX() function which achieves same, but you need to do
that for every column, when inspecting data and just starting off with
something like "select * from" ... I suspect having a flag to inform the
cli client tools to present such binary columns as hexadecimal strings
instead of dumping raw binary data to the terminal would be most helpful.
Sorry, just had a round of screeching in my ears from "bell" characters
and was just wondering if there's a way to not only stop that, but
present the data in a more sensible manner regardless, ideally some "opt
in" mechanism to maintain backwards compatibility.
Kind regards,
Jaco
