Tim here. I know that at least sqlite's CLI interface lets you use .mode line which turns data into a linear format that's much more understandable when read aloud, data like sqlite> .mode line sqlite> select id, name from users; Id = 1 Name = Tim Id = 2 Name = Rich Id = 3 Name = Ellen PostgreSQL has a similar "expanded" format. I find it particularly useful when there are lots of columns and things start wrapping weirdly, making it hard to trace which column is which. If you really *do* want HTML output, the sqlite ".mode" command does also offer HTML output as an option: sqlite> .mode html which you can then pipe to your favorite HTML viewer. Similarly, PostgreSQL's "psql" client has an HTML output mode which you can invoke either as a CLI option $ psql --html or by enabling the option interactively (psql) \pset format html Hopefully this gives you some options for getting more useful output from sqlite or postgresql. I don't use mysql/mariadb much, so I can't speak as to whether it offers similar features. -Tim > One thought I have had, from time to time, is that it would be nice > to have tooling that transforms various tabular output formats into > HTML tables.
