Jason Altekruse commented on DRILL-3421:
----------------------------------------
I don't know if this is something we want to encourage users to do. We have
CREATE TABLE AS, which can be configured to output JSON (by setting
`store.format` = 'json'). It is not efficient to use the terminal output to
produce any volume of output, especially if you want to save it to a file.
There are additional complications that we truncate long values when they are
displayed on the command line, which would cause this output to look incorrect.
Is there a particular version why users would need to produce this kind of
output from sqlline?

> ouputformat=vertical is nearly a json output format. Adding a json format
> option here, where the field names are quoted etc.. would make it dead simple
> to generate json output from query results.
