To remind the readers, this is a database thing - null column values

issues with LC when the null value is on the tail.
All it would take is removing that one little line in the item code -
that
line that makes items less computationally efficient than they could
be.
That's an anomaly in revDB because revDB doesn't follow the 'trailing
delimiter
is optional unless you want a list containing empty elements':

That one can be fixed either in queries (by making sure the last column
you
select can't be NULL - or the empty string); or in code calling it by
appending
a comma if the line ends in comma.
The engine also has a couple of anomalies with regard string-list
processing:

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14876
Unfortunately, fixing any three of those without some sort of
compatibility
mechanism would break large amounts of existing code which is written to
code with the issue.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
