Depends upon your application, I guess. I have a dynamic report builder for
this application that creates the header, footer, rows, etc, all in the same
format and it's just passed a query, any query. So, you never know how many
columns there are unless you count the row returned and loop through it (or
use mysql_num_fields()).
