Android Tutorial Protect your Database against SQL Injection

Hi guys!

This might not the sexiest nor the most elegant piece of code, but it works for me.
Hopefully, someone will find it useful...

SQL injection is a code injection technique, used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker). SQL injection must exploit a security vulnerability in an application's software, for example, when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed. SQL injection is mostly known as an attack vector for websites but can be used to attack any type of SQL database.

Code:

Sub InjectionSafe(input As String) As Boolean
    If _
           input.Contains(" ") _
        OR input.Contains(";") _
        OR input.Contains("'") _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x0022)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x0027)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x00AB)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x00BB)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x2018)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x2019)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201A)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201B)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201C)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201D)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201E)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x201F)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x2039)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x203A)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x300C)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x300D)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x300E)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x300F)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x301D)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x301E)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0x301F)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFE41)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFE42)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFE43)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFE44)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFF02)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFF07)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFF62)) _
        OR input.Contains(Chr(0xFF63)) _
    Then
        Return False
    Else
        Return True
    End If
End Sub

Usage:

'Imagine the user enters their username into a text box named "user_input"
If InjectionSafe(user_input.text) Then
     'ACCESS GRANTED
Else
     'ACCESS DENIED
End If

Parameterized queries are also safe (SQL.ExecQuery2, ExecNonQuery2).
