That is something that must be handled by your software. There is no way in SQL to return an answer to a SELECT which has a different number of columns in different records. You could make SQL return columns with NULL in and your software could automatically recognise them and know not to print them. Remember that SQL is a database engine. It's job is to supply data. It's your software's job to understand what needs to be done with it.
