title: how to display an oracle table as a table?
body: <p>I'm new to oracle (or SQL in general) and trying to get stuff done.
  In MS SQL Server I can do <code>select * from tablename;</code> and it displays all the data in a tabulated format. If I do that in Oracle it displays the data in a weird format that's hard to read, unless I specifically select the columns I want. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to display the data in Oracle formatted like regular MSSQL format?</p>
  
  <p>I looked around and people say to use <code>SHOW COLUMNS FROM TABLENAME;</code> but that gives me an error saying "unknown option". I can do <code>Desc tablename</code> but that only gives me the metadata.</p>
