Re: Column values into one delimited field

FieldList - table fieldList, eg friendID, firstName, lastName, email
ValuesBefore 1,'John','Sliver','[e-mail]'
ValuesAfter 1,'John','Sterling Silver', '[e-mail]'

Terrible idea. Breaks a basic rule of table design (atomicity), and will be impossible to use.
