More predictable list-valued fields in CLDF SQL #174

Closed xrotwang closed 5 months ago

xrotwang commented 7 months ago

The CLDF SQLite database should use a known property's default separator, e.g. \t for IGT tiers, and not potentially different local separators, to make SQL more portable across datasets.

Doesn't really work. If a dataset decides to deviate from the default, maybe because the default conflicts with the data, this deviation must be respected.
