You may find dQuote() and sQuote() to be helpful, but a better
solution might be to ask the developers of the RSQLite package to add
R functions that call the SQLite api functions sqlite_exec_printf()
and sqlite_get_table_printf() which automatically escape single quotes
(among other things, http://www.sqlite.org/c_interface.html)
