If you have a set of rows from the table, make the return value to be a list
of dictionaries.  Then use the keyword "mapping" with dtml-in -

getResults() returns, say,
    [{"Column1":1,"Column2":2}, {"Column1":3,"Column2":4}]

<dtml-in "getResults()" mapping>
   <dtml-var "_['sequence-item']['Column1']">
</dtml-in>
