i think jasen is thinking of manipulating the result set in your programming enviroment not in the database.
btw from the point of "clean programming" it's a bad idea to integrate html-elements directly into your database quereis. you're mixing data layer and design layer.
what do you mean with sometimes?

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?
