mysql client?????
 
Is it possible to pause a query on the console when using the mysql client?

Try the command "pager less". Output is then routed through "less", so you can page up, down and quit as usual.

For a while I thought it was impossible to pause the screen.

I wish this was linked to a keyword like "pause" on the online documentation.

Thanks again.
