My motivations for writing this up were that (1) it's a wonderful example of a lot of things I often find myself saying about databases; (2) peoples' Anki decks are really important to them and I'd like to enable people to work with them if they want; (3) I do hit strange behavior sometimes in Anki and perhaps these issues are behind it.
