Correct.

Don't use execSQL() for queries.

The query() method helps build your query from component parts; 
rawQuery() lets you hand it a hunk of plain SQL. If you don't like one, 
use the other. They both return a Cursor.

If there is something you are doing that you think execSQL() will do but 
rawQuery() won't, write back!
