Do you need to make sure that there is whitespace at the end of
each dbcmd string? I think that the strings of each dbcmd are concatenated
together, with no implied whitespace.
For the same reason, the entire where and order by clauses are on the second
line, since there is only one newline in the string.

Whitespace here-------------+

No whitespace here. +
