Well, I'm going to stop now - it seems you just don't want to see the
obvious. The idea is if you use data entered by user in your SQL strings,
something bad will happen. Fortunatelly, VFP doesn't allow multiple commands
per line, and that prohibits dropping the tables or deleting the records,
but as soon as you get out the VFP environment, I wish you good luck.

Unbelievable. There are TONS of books saying "sanitize your input strings"
and "use parameters for sql queries" and you're giving me this shit. WTF.

I guess some people just want to learn it by the hard way.

In VFP, the error is "Command contains unrecognized phrase/keyword"

>And THAT is sql injection. It crashes your application.

I guess. It doesn't crash the server, just the data-entry front-end. And it
wouldn't have to do that if I wrapped it in a TRY... CATCH and just returned
"Invalid Entry" when it happened.

So it only crashes one desktop app--what good does that do anybody?

I think you're stretching here. *LOL*
