the garbled display is probably due to the results being wider then the 
screen/terminal, and since the mysql client doesn't implement a horizontal 
scrollbar like a gui/web mysql client does, it makes wide output hard to 
understand or use.

that could be considered a limit of the text mysql client or of the terminal 
your using.
