"SELECT *" yields too many rows to show! How do I scroll through all results?

When I use: SELECT * FROM download_log;
I have 1300+ rows of data but using putty I cannot scroll to the top of the results, I can only see about 100 results!:eek2:

How do I scroll through the rest of them?

or should I write up a php script to display this information on a page?

Do you have PHPMyAdmin available to you to access the database concerned?

No I do not use phpAdmin i just use the putty command prompt to access my server and MySQL db. I am under the impression that phpAdmin is not free.

That impression would be incorrect. PHPMyadmin is free tool and should be included from your host if you have access to mysql via cpanel.

While I fool around with installing PHPMyAdmin…

I am still curious if anyone knows a way to scroll through many rows of data in a table using the bash shell command prompt interface?
