Is it possible to return dynamic objects or Dataset from a Sqlite Query?

Question

I am using Sqlite.Net in my Xamarin.Forms application. So far it has been great at returning lists of objects if my object is a class like so:

Unlike @Fabian Monkemoller, i was unable to get @User1's code to work straight away. This is a modified version that make use of nullable reference types and method-nesting to seperate the main-code from the try-catch block:

     public static object?[][]? ToDataSet(this SQLiteConnection sqlConnection, string query , bool includeColumnNamesAsFirstRow = true)
    {
        var stQuery = SQLite3.Prepare2(sqlConnection.Handle, query );
        var colLength = SQLite3.ColumnCount(stQuery);
        try
        {
            return SelectRows().ToArray();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            return null;
        }
        finally
        {
            if (stQuery != null)
            {
                SQLite3.Finalize(stQuery);
            }
        }

        IEnumerable SelectRows()
        {
            if (includeColumnNamesAsFirstRow)
            {
                yield return SelectColumnNames(stQuery, colLength).ToArray();
            }

            while (SQLite3.Step(stQuery) == SQLite3.Result.Row)
            {
                yield return SelectColumns(stQuery, colLength).ToArray();
            }

            static IEnumerable
