Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-355:
--------------------------------------
I understand the idea to support \G. However that will actually be tricky.
Currently a ticket is open to print column headers that uses a set variable. We
could add a variable that outputs in this matter but \G would be hacky. Is that
ok?

> For tables with a lot of columns, it's very difficult to actually match up
> column to value. MySQL supports a \G terminator that causes it to print in a
> colname: value format which is very nice for this sort of thing.
