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.
