CSV is a hazing joke we play on noob programmers to demonstrate to them the function that eats a string and a delimiter, and spits out that split string into an array. Then we demo it with the most innocuous plain vanilla csv formatted data we can imagine like '1,2,3' and then haze the new programmer by telling them that's all they really need to know to process CSV files, assuming they can read file lines into strings and manipulate arrays. ha ha noobs ha ha ha. Well its funny if you're not the one cleaning it up or getting the bug reports. The other side is trolling noob DBAs into thinking they wrote babbys first fisher-price CSV exporter when they ran SELECT CONCAT(columnone, ',', columntwo, ',', columnthree) FROM tb_wtf; and then they get their first bug report about the column data containing a comma, perhaps as a full name. Personally I think if we're going to haze noobs it would be more civilized to just spank them with a paddle while they repeat "thank you sir may I have another" (And that movie is I believe almost half a century old now) Or do the rituals the navy used to do upon first equator crossing. Tricking noobs into writing CSV processing code is just going to far.
