How to enable tabular output when reading command from file?

Hi,

~/linux/test/mysql/mysql/SELECT$ ./main.sh
name date type remark
Fluffy 1995-05-15 litter 4 kittens, 3 female, 1 male
Buffy 1993-06-23 litter 5 puppies, 2 female, 3 male
Buffy 1994-06-19 litter 3 puppies, 3 female
Chirpy 1999-03-21 vet needed beak straightened
Slim 1997-08-03 vet broken rib
Bowser 1991-10-12 kennel
Fang 1991-10-12 kennel
Fang 1998-08-28 birthday Gave him a new chew toy
Claws 1998-03-17 birthday Gave him a new flea collar
Whistler 1998-12-09 birthday First birthday
~/linux/test/mysql/mysql/SELECT$ cat main.sh
^[#!/usr/bin/env bash

mysql -hlocalhost -uuser < main.sql

~/linux/test/mysql/mysql/SELECT$ cat main.sql
use test
select * from event;

===============

The above command doesn't print as formatted in the following. I'm
wondering what options I should use to produce a result similar to the
following.


=====================
mysql> select * from event
-> ;

Add the --table option to your mysql commandline. In batch mode, mysql
generates tab-delimited output which is easier to process.

o --table, -t

Display output in table format. This is the default for interactive
use, but can be used to produce table output in batch mode.
