Yes, at run time.

I tried the eval course but that struck me as slower. Perhaps not? It's not
that I'm set on using '['. I was under the impression that was how the eval
expression is eventually parsed. I also thought the empty commas were
eventually passed as NULLs.

Wasn't aware of the 'str' function. Could come in handy down the road.

Thanks.
