database=activity.openOrCreateDatabase("ASSIST",activity.MODE_PRIVATE,null);

The code is used to create or open the database in private mode. Aer opening the mysqli
databaseallnormalmysqloperaonscanbeperformedonthedatabase.

I always prefer execung custom sql queries. So I have made 2 funcons called execQuery and
execAcon. The execAcon uses execSql funcon to execute INSERT, DELETE OR UPDATE
operaons on the database. execAcon returns a cursor which can be used to get the rows
returnedfromSELECTquery.
