I actually ended up with something similar:
declare TEAM_QUERY="`mysql ${ACCESS_PARAMS} --exec "select distinct team from
registered order by team"`"
declare -a TEAMS=(`echo "${TEAM_QUERY}"|sed 's/^/"/g'|sed 's/$/"/g'`)
Commas are not used in the definition of an array - just spaces between quoted
strings.
