It’s fine, you can just nest stuff by having a tsv in which one of the columns has an arbitrary number of values separated by commas. One of those values might even be some map structure with pairs indicated with equals and pairs separated by pipes. It’ll all be just fine.

Wow, this week at a new job I just found 50 database columns that contain a serialized php array, this makes me laugh.

Also does anyone know how to cheaply migrate PHP arrays into actual relational tables, I'm, uh, asking for a friend.

Oh man, you just made my day.
