SQL Injection's are URL based only. Issues are induced into database via URL because of bad way query is formed.

In the "Weird and Wonderful" we had our fun with the Alcatraz travel website. Their server is still open for injecting SQL via URLs. See Alcatraz ~ the tourist website[^]
See the messages in that thread for more hints on how it works - you can still test your skills.
