Abstract away the row generation logic from file writers

[not-ad-chaos]

Currently, row generation and writing to the DB happen at the same time, which makes it very tightly coupled with the file type we'll be writing to. For example, if we wanted to instead generate a json or a csv, we will have to write bespoke code for each format, as seen in write_to_file and write_to_db, this is also error prone as any changes will need to be replicated everywhere.

It would be nice to be able to specify the file format to write_tables and everything else is taken care for automatically.

with MockDB(dbidx) as mdb:
    # writes a json
    mdb.init_tables().write_tables(MockDB.json).log_answer()
