Hi, I am injecting - according to the solution and to the video - the following string into the database: https://ac1e1f9b1f4ba0a980e0fc0a0029005b.web-security-academy.net/filter?category=Gifts'+UNION+SELECT+'a','a'# And it throws an error. Why? Best Volker

Hi Volker So we can help, can I double-check the name of the lab you're currently working on, please? Is it 'SQL injection attack, querying the database type and version on MySQL and Microsoft'?

Yes, you are right. That is the actual lab I am talking about.

Hi Volker, Are you entering your payload directly into the address bar of your browser or using Burp? If you are entering this directly (rather than using Burp as the solution suggests) then you need to consider whether a certain, special character needs to be encoded.
