My script is like this:
#!/bin/bash
mysql dbname -N -uroot -p -hhost -se "SELECT COUNTRY, COUNTRY_NAME FROM server ORDER BY COUNTRY"
output=$(mysql dbname -N -uroot -p -hhost -se "SELECT COUNTRY, COUNTRY_NAME FROM server ORDER BY COUNTRY")
echo $output
The result is like this:
Enter password:
CN China
CZ Czech Republic
FI Finland
JP Japan
NL Netherlands
RO Romania
SG Singapore
UA Ukraine
US United States

I want to set bash variable output to be the output of the mysql query, but the output variable seems to be good except all new lines were stripped away. My question is how to set the bash variable to be the mysql query result with each row in one line?
