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.
Isn't that what I've been saying?
My question is, how could anybody have ever done anything different?
Why would anybody ever design a user interface
SQL injection can do all sorts of damage: it can simply delete
all of your data; it can reveal admin passwords, employee information,
etc. In essence, it enables bad guys to execute any data command they want.
The rule to follow is always to sanitize inputs from users.
