There are safe and robust ways to do dynamic SQL;
That's what everyone thinks. And, even it it were true, it only stays true until another feature is added (to the code or the RDBMS.) If you're trying to prove what can and cannot be done, you better be sure you have checked every aspect. However, with properly parameterized SQL, the placeholders are strictly typed as data and cannot be used for anything other than data. Hence, the statement is guaranteed to be safe.
This approach enhances security immensely. As a general rule, each layer should handle its own security.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
