App::AltSQL::View
This is an internal class used by App::AltSQL to capture the output of a DBI statement handler and express it to the user somehow. It does this mainly with Text::UnicodeBox::Table, and is currently MySQL specific.
Optionally pass 'no_pager' or 'one_row_per_column'. Will render the stored buffer by either printing it to the screen or piping it to a pager.
Given the table data that was extracted from the statement handler, compose a nicely formatted table for showing to the user.
Rather then using ASCII art to horizontally format each row, use one row of output per cell of data.
Given the column specification, format the output for the user. This would be the header cell of the table. The specification may have the following keys, which match up with data found in the DBI statement handler.
Format the cell $value while knowing the column %spec (same data structure as above)
