please write 2 emails for 2 unrelated questions, that said I will tackle #2

you have all those line drawing chars since the field is very wide.

The MySQL client does not 'know' about new lines, it just prints them out, so each one is counted as one char.

in your client you can ask for help, \?, ?.

Look at the command \G or ego; it will display your results vertically, avoiding this issue.

                         template = {
              b5 = resources/articles/_backups/subIndex_b5.template;
              gb = resources/articles/_backups/subIndex_gb.template;
          };
      };
  };
