Hi Anthony,

If the MySQL server is vulnerable, you could try using stored procedures &
extended stored procedures (XP) such as xp_cmdshell , which will allow you
to execute code.
XP's are written in high-languages like C and compiled into .DLL's. The
advantage is that the DLL just needs to be present on the machine to be
able to exploit it, much like the .dll's needed to exploit some ISAPI IIS
extensions ;)

e.g. SQL XP: exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dir' would obtain a directory
listing of the current working directory of the SQL Server process.

Check out the most excellent paper "Advanced SQL Injection techniques" by
Chris Anley. (http://www.nextgenss.com/papers/advanced_sql_injection.pdf )
Viewable as HTML if you use google, but I guess that's obvious ;)

Good luck!

Roger
