Apart from quoting problems, why on earth would you want to do this? This 
seems to be just asking for all kinds of problems. It makes absolutely no 
sense at all to store relations in fields within an RDBMS because this is 
what the RDBMS does for you. A little extra work: add a relation and 
generate the link via tal:content string and you'll have a safer and much 
more flexible result.
