ct_sql() has the advantage of handling all the processing, so you don't have to
worry about handling various return codes, etc.
As usual, it's a question of control vs. ease of use. ct_execute() gives you
more control (because you have to code the ct_results loop, and so you can handle
error conditions with more care), but ct_sql() is easier to use and faster
(and will be just fine for almost all cases of running updates or inserts).
