I do not understand your question. SQL does not have arrays. It has rows
and columns and tables and lots of other things but no arrays. Programming
languages have arrays, not SQL. Are you trying to get some data and
populate an array with it? That's not completely a MySQL question, it's
more of a question about how to create arrays from strings in your
particular language. However, since there are MANY people on this list, I
am sure someone will know the answer so please explain what it is you are
doing, what language you are using to do it with, what your data looks
like (use "SHOW CREATE TABLE", and explain what you want your results to
look like.

When using the command line client, the headers, the data areas, and the
tails are each as wide as your data but they get "wrapped" to fit your
screen buffer. To make the wrapping effect go away in Windows, change the
Screen Buffer settings for your command shell window to something wide
enough to fit your results. One way you can get to the settings is by
right-clicking the window and picking "properties".
