Depending on how broadly you define "database" you could be right.

Alan, Steve, future readers,
After some re-reading and hacking I was able to discover the solution. Since I
raised the question here it is :
[['{0}'.format(x+1), x+1] for x in range(size)]
This will create the list with nested lists for whatever number 'size' is set
