For example, we need to pass parame- ters when we want to insert an item in the table, like in this SQL statement. "INSERT INTO people (firstName, lastName) VALUES ("Cesare", "Rocchi")"; Porting this into ActionScript we get to a pretty messy code, where it is easy to get lost or mistype a comma or quote. var name:String = "Cesare"; var surname:String = "Rocchi"; var s:String = "INSERT INTO people (firstName, lastName) "+ "VALUES ("+name+", "+ surname + ")";
