This is horrible, what are you doing? Keeping read cursors open then doing more operations can be a little funky in some sqlite situations I want to make sure I'm always closing that read cursor when I can Then I started thinking about writing a generic read function And here we are.

another return wanted? another function for the type safety, you know the other option is array-of-arrays with any type but then you're type wrangling at the call-site which also sucks.
