Try starting with something simple. The following is a step by step guide 
to working out how you need to do this. Follow all the steps. Do not skip 
any steps. Each stage builds on the previous code.

Write python code to create a list of strings and print out the elements 
of the list. This just needs to generate a list of n entries of m 
characters in length of random character data.

Write python code to concatenate a list of strings into some longer 
string using a separator and print out the long string.

Now add some python code to split the long string into a list based on 
the separator, and print out the list elements.

Once you have this code working, make a test table with a single string 
column and an integer index field in a test database.

Now this is starting to push the boundaries of your abilities, but write 
code to create two lists, and store them with indexes 1 and 2 
respectively.

Now, and this is really really going to tax you, write some more code 
that will first retrieve the string for index 1, convert it back into a 
list, and display the list contents, then do the same for list 2, then 
retrieve all the data from the db and reproduce each list in turn.

Then you might be ready to try coding what you're trying to code.
