lab bug (SQL injection attack, querying the database type and version on MySQL and Microsoft)

I think this lab (https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection/examining-the-database/lab-querying-database-version-mysql-microsoft) is not working. Even I tried the Solution and that did not work!

Hi I have just tested the lab and can confirm that it works as it should. Are you attempting to add the payload in the browser or the Repeater tab and then sending the modified request? Please be aware of URL encoding if you are using the browser method.

Hi, Thanks for the tip. It worked after changing # to %23 (and --[space] to --+). Thank you

Hi, Mostly, special characters create issues, You can decode those characters in the decoder tab as URL. Thanks,
