SQL call formatting style

[Sergey A. Lipnevich]

I started coding SQL like this (as scalar, akin to shell's cat << EOF 
... EOF) some time ago and now I hate when the language that doesn't 
allow that (e.g. Java). In situations like Java+SQL I'm willing to go 
extra length and store SQL in external config file, but not concatenate
clauses together in the code. It's absolutely worth it, and 
parameterized (prepared) statements with question marks are what they 
call "enabler" in this case. My $.0029/line.
