Actually this now strikes me as a bad idea, since I think I can't
search my table by filename to find what archive it's in, and retrieve
that archive. With a plaintext list I could do
"select archive from bin_archives where file_name_list like
('%my_wanted_file%')"
Or am I being clueless about arrays, too?
thanks,
