I have came across strange issue with Windows Command Prompt and MySQL. Somehow command prompt does not show wide table correctly. I have simple table:

+-------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field             | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id                | int(11)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| email             | char(128)   | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| password          | char(128)   | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| user_salt         | varchar(50) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| is_verified       | tinyint(1)  | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| is_active         | tinyint(1)  | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| is_admin          | tinyint(1)  | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| verification_code | varchar(65) | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
+-------------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

and after I populate it with data and try to look at it, command prompt returns this nonsense:

mysql> SELECT * FROM users;
+----+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------

user_salt                                          | is_verified | is_active | i

I know that it’s some issue with command prompt, because the table is not corrupted and works like a charm. Or maybe it is normal because it’s too wide? If so, what are you suggestions regarding some command line apps? What simple command line I could use to look up my tables? Cuz now I have to use phpMyAdmin and It’s really really lagging.
Thanks for help in advance ;]

    It’s normal.
    It happens because your data is too long, If you look carefully, you can observe that row was
    automatically adjusted to width of the data.

    Headers:
    | id | email | password
    |
    user_salt | is_verified | is_active | i
    s_admin | verification_code

    Data
