1. Data Layout

  The implementation for CSV in libdba is as follows:

  Data is stored as ASCII text in a table layout. Each line in the file
  corresponds to a row in the table. Each column is separated by a
  comma in the file. An example:

   mike,brownlow,pizza
   joe,somebody,peanuts

 1.1 Commas
  In the above example, the table is 3 columns by 2 rows. In the case
  where a comma is needed as part of the value, the value itself is
  enclosed in double-quotes:

   mike,brownlow,"pizza, rolls"
   joe,somebody,"peanuts, jellybeans"

 1.2 Spaces
  At this point it should be noted that the following entry would
  include the spaces before and after the commas and values (there is
  space after rolls):

   mike,brownlow, pizza and rolls 

  The third column above (within single quotes) would be:

  ' pizza and rolls '

 1.3 Double-Quotes
  Because we have introduced double-quotes, it is necessary to allow
  for a way to have double-quotes in the value. This can be done by
  using two double-quotes directly one after the other:

   mike,brownlow,"pizza and ""sausage rolls"""

  Here, the true value of the third column is:

   pizza and "sausage rolls"
