SQLlite supports a form of format string where you put in some magic
charactrs then provide arguments which SQLLite will substitute in your
SQL statement.
You can see examples of that in the database topic in my tutorial:

Look at the address book example near the end for the 'Find Entry'
feature, and definitely read the 'word about security' subheading for
the correct way to do it!
