All SQL injection attacks are harmful, but some are more harmful than others: accessing user information is one thing but altering or deleting it is another.

A lot of languages come with built-in features that help prevent SQL injection, and so when writing SQL queries you can use a prepared statement to compile the query.

Prepared statements with query parameterization are therefore the best defense against SQL injection.

As with SQL queries, developers should parameterize the queries in their stored procedure, rather than concatenate the parameters, to protect against injection.

This transforms the data from a database into objects and vise-versa, reducing explicit SQL queries and therefore the risk of SQL injection attacks.

SQL injection attacks are a dangerous online threat, but they can be defended against.
