[sqlite] inserting xml string

[Andrei Emeltchenko]

Hello gentlemen,

I want to insert xml string in a table 
INSERT INTO table VALUES (" ... xml string ...");

This xml string contains some characters which cause error like:
--> unrecognized token: ":"

Is there analog for sqlite3_mprintf which escapes such characters.

Or what otherwise preferred way for this?

Regards,
