You can do, and w/o need to later extract.
As you are doing an SQL call /anyway/, just use the ...
SELECT <db_entry> AS <Exim variable>, [next set], ... [last set] WHERE
... thereby directly 'stuffing' as many items as needed into the
relevant variables w/o need of later string slicing or extraction.
