In MySQL, you can format the output results using the following methods:

  1. Save the result to a file

For example:

SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '/path/to/file.txt'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM table_name;
  1. Join or combine

For example:

SELECT CONCAT(column1, ', ', column2, ', ', column3) AS formatted_output
FROM table_name;
  1. Converts a value to a specific format.

For example:

SELECT FORMAT(column_name, 2) AS formatted_output
FROM table_name;

These methods can output query results in different formats as needed, making them easier to read and understand.
