Actually, this was precisely the situation in which multiple LC

key of the table, and joining these tables was far faster to do
using LC arrays than any in-memory SQL database. Admittedly these
were only 2-way and 3-way joins, so

Not really - try parsing out an SQL SELECT statement. Granted that's not
really English text but if you want to make this a general purpose
function, you have to deal with that circumstance. I needed to do that and
ended up going through the text and inserting a space after each comma if
there
The problem I had was that it just didn't work using a blob. The encoded
array got stored OK but LC didn't recognise what came back as an array,
don't remember all the details.
The default max size of a text field in SQLite is 1 million characters so I
think he'd be pretty safe.

I did something similar recently, where not only was the delimiter important,

replace AND with cr AND cr in theList
replace OR with

Probably something similar to what I encountered when passing an AES encrypted

sqlYoga solved that for me as the insert and update queries are escaped by

True enough, except that a comma *might* be there under normal circumstances,
