Hey Sherwyn,

You must use some documentation for the db vendor.
Learn basic manipulation commands from some appendix,
preferrably some david litchfield blackhat ppt/pdfs.

Then take a look at a tool like absinthe, which can
automate the SQL injection finding, with required
input.

If you can use Absinthe, to find a injection, then
nothing like it. Try testing, and verifying it a few
times, before you use SQL Ninja to compromise and get
back a shell.

All this is necessary if you cannot use SQL queries
and unicode manually to test the server. This is a
good approach (for now), while you can develop your
skillset on atleast 2 DB's preferrably, Oracle and
mySQL.

Unless you understand the nitty-gritty details of what
happens in web-programming and processing, you will
not be able to penetrate the backend without tools ;)

Cheers :)
Kish

PS: As much as you concentrate on SQL injection, so
should you in XSS since it's equally/more dangerous.
