Re: mysql client does not return rows right away on large result set

The -q option is significantly faster. I got about 1 minute and a half and a minute 17 seconds on 2 runs and over 6 minutes without. I had tried -q and -n before but neither cause the mysql client to behave exactly like sqlplus on Oracle.

The reason this is interesting to me is that I work with developers and DBAs who have a lot of experience with Oracle and are now using MySQL. So, I am trying to understand differences that I see. In Oracle query tuning you could run a query that returns many rows to see how long it processes the query before returning the first row. It could be that with MySQL you don't have long periods of time processing the data before the first row is returned because MySQL works differently from Oracle; I don't know.

I guess I'm going to assume that you can't reproduce the Oracle sqlplus behavior with the mysql client. I was able to reproduce the Oracle behavior with a simple Python script so that is a viable workaround.
