As the other tutors have suggested, look into doing the SQL updates
directly, rather than format strings of SQL commands.
A major reason is because strings do not natively support the
representation of nested, grammatical things like sentences or SQL
commands. It's really easy to write a string formatting program that works
on simple input but will break spectacularly on real-world data.
Do a web search for the term "Bobby Tables" for a concrete explanation of
the problem.
