// Example 1: Retrieve meta query SQL for a specific meta key and value
$meta_key = 'color';
$meta_value = 'blue';
$args = array(
    'meta_query' => array(
        get_meta_sql( $meta_key, $meta_value )
    )
);
// Example 2: Retrieve meta query SQL for multiple meta keys and values
$meta_query = array(
    get_meta_sql( 'color', 'blue' ),
    get_meta_sql( 'size', 'medium' )
);
$args = array(
    'meta_query' => $meta_query
);
// Example 3: Avoiding common pitfall of using get_meta_sql with 'compare' parameter
$meta_key = 'price';
$meta_value = 100;
$args = array(
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key' => $meta_key,
            'value' => $meta_value,
            'compare' => '>=',
