Navigating through SQL Data

[Mike Kerner]

Also don't forget that if you get all the data at once, e.g. via
revDataFromQuery, if you have a null last item, LC will pretend it isn't
there b/c LC treats trailing commas like they aren't there.

See "All items are significant, including the last one", and perhaps I have
another convert to addressing this behavior.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
