Practice exercise


  • Which method would you employ to protect the PL/SQL code against SQL injection attacks?

    1. Replace Dynamic SQLs with Static SQLs.

    2. Replace concatenated inputs in Dynamic SQL with bind arguments.

    3. Declare the PL/SQL program to be executed by its invoker's rights.

    4. Remove string type parameters from the procedure.

  • You should use static SQL to avoid SQL injection when all Oracle identifiers are known at the time of code execution.

    1. True.

    2. False.

  • Choose the impact of SQL injection attacks:

    1. Malicious string inputs can extract confidential information.
