SQL Injection Attacks (SQLIAs) is the oldest approach to harm the web applications. According to Acunetix Web application Vulnerability Report published in 2019, SQLIAs is approximate 11% of overall vulnerability [1]. As we know dynamic web applications are interactive web applications from which a user can gain some information and he can also store some information though that application. So web applications have a database to maintain user’s information. To deal with databases SQL is used at server end. A developer design some query to make interaction between user and database but if developer not validates the SQL query then a malicious user can insert some valid SQL code through web page and gain access to the database which was not intentionally designed by the developer. Using SQLIAs a malicious user can steal some personal information, perform some unintentionally financial operation and modify & destroy information from database. There are various ways of SQLIAs by which a malicious user gain access to the databases and there are many solutions for prevention and detection of SQLIAs.
