I agree. All clients issue the same sql and deal with it as they will. The psql client for example can format the results in various ways (pset variations etc). Your client(s) need(s) to interpret their identical results differently. Doesn't seem to me to be the job of SQL?

    Ok, you mean I could create a rule for the table, then I let the
    script go into my "black box",
    do the original selects, but get a manipulated result set back, then I
    drop the rule so
    that the blackbox of scripts can get the not manipulated result set
    back?

    I need to sometimes get the result "<div>output from query</div>" and
    sometimes not
    and it would be awesomw to get it with the same query, but maybe by
    setting
    a rule or similar. Best from performance view would be to make
    something
    more permanent. Is it possible to activate/deactivate a rule?
