[android-developers] newbie SQL Light Question

I'm learning SQLLite using the NotePad tutorial appication. The code
pasted below is very strange to me. I'm used to using SQL i.e. Select
KEY_ROWID, KEY_TITLE, KEY_BODY from DATABASE_TABLE
WHERE BLAH BLAH BLAH.

One of the nice things about SQL is that it is pretty much the same
between the platforms so when a developer has to learn a new platform,
such as Android, the SQL is the same.

What's going on? Why don't you use SQL?
Thanks,
Gary

public Cursor fetchNote(long rowId) throws SQLException {

Cursor mCursor =

mDb.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE, new String[] {KEY_ROWID,
KEY_TITLE, KEY_BODY}, KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId,
null,
null, null, null, null);
if (mCursor != null) {
mCursor.moveToFirst();
}
return mCursor;

}
