Simple sqlite+bash phonebook

Phone Book Script - Version 2
This version uses sqlite3 and bash.
Still has things i could fix i suppose ...but it works for what i wanted.

I wanted to play with sqlite and bash, so I decided to revamp my older bash phone book script.
And before you ask....... yes, I use this everyday   I work from the command line all day long, and
for me simple is better, console is better than gui, and it did what I wanted it to... thought I'd share
it just in case someone else had this particular itch they needed to scratch.

Yes.. I know the code could be condensed, shortened ...whatever, but I prefer "quickly understandable"
vs "obfuscated" code myself.... so knock yerself out if you want too... but I'll leave that to you
