How to colorize your MySQL or MariaDB client on linux

If like me you use your terminal to work with MySQL or MariaDB, you client is monochrome. Some solutions exist to get color in your client and facilitate reading. One of them is use of grc with some setup.

You just need to install grc with apt and add some config. Thanks to nitso for his config example.

Before:

Mysql cli in black and white

After:

colorized Mysql cli
