title: How to split a string literal across multiple lines in C / Objective-C?
body: <p>I have a pretty long sqlite query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const char *sql_query = "SELECT statuses.word_id FROM lang1_words, statuses WHERE statuses.word_id = lang1_words.word_id ORDER BY lang1_words.word ASC";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I break it in a number of lines to make it easier to read?
  If I do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const char *sql_query = "SELECT word_id
                          FROM table1, table2
                          WHERE table2.word_id = table1.word_id
                          ORDER BY table1.word ASC";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting an error.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to write queries in multiple lines?</p>
