Add support to read list-valued columns from db properly #153

Closed xrotwang closed 2 years ago

xrotwang commented 2 years ago

i.e. using the correct separator to split the string value in the db.

Rather than adding this info to the db in some way, there should be a simple way to consult the metadata file. Something like Database.unsplit(table, column, value).

And maybe that functionality should already be on csvw.db level.
