How can I combine the built-in-commands (g and G), used for executing a MySQL statement, with each other?


As we know that built-in-commands (\G and \g) send the command to MySQL server for execution and both of them have the different format of the result set. For combining them and getting the result without error, we need to write two queries, one query with \G and other with \g at the end, in a single statement.

Example

mysql> Select * from student\G select * from ratelist\g
*************************** 1. row ***************************
  Name: Gaurav
RollNo: 100
 Grade: B.tech
*************************** 2. row ***************************
  Name: Aarav
RollNo: 150
 Grade: M.SC
*************************** 3. row ***************************
  Name: Aryan
RollNo: 165
 Grade: M.tech
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

+----+------+-------+
| Sr | Item | Price |
+----+------+-------+
|  1 | A    |   502 |
|  2 | B    |   630 |
|  3 | C    |  1005 |
|  4 | h    |   850 |
|  5 | T    |   250 |
+----+------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

In the example above, MySQL statement first encounters \G after the first query, and based on it throws the result set in vertical format and then encounters \g after the second query and based on it throws the result set in a tabular format.
