My tutorial shows how to build an address book in SqlLite.
But it doesn't add the GUI layer. But the GUI is pretty much independant 
of the SQL Layer (or should be!)

The Case Study app shows a more representative GUI with some radio 
buttons and a Text widget(where you could dump the result of a SQL 
qwuery for example...)

Thats all most tutorials will cover, its an exercise for the reader to 
join all the bits together :-)

But seriously, if I ever get round to finishing the missing topics I do 
intend to take the address book right through to a web application on 
top of a SQL database.... Just finding the time is the problem.
