You can use your language constructs, -- for PHP 'unset($var)' or 
in Perl 'delete $var'.

PHP example:

echo '<table>';

$res=mysql_query('SELECT * FROM TName');
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res) ) {
   unset($row['dateOB'],  $row['idSCHOOL']);
   echo '<tr><td>', implode('</td><td>', $row), '</td></tr>';
}

echo '</table>';
