If i use your code each row will go into one array element. But how can i know how many columns are there in the sql query actually?

For example if we consider below row, how can i select col1, col2 and col3 in to 3 array elements instead of 1?
Code:
A AS COL1,COALESCE(B ,'123') AS COL2,CAST(C AS TIMESTAMP(0)) AS COL3[

Thanks
