after testing a PHP-MSSQL app, i am able to insert and update tables

possible to update a table putting something like: "phpinfo()" or
(passthru("ipconfig")) in order to execute while loading the page?

You cannot execute strings directly, but if developers are
clueless enough it is very likely that they actually eval code
stored in db (this blunder is especially common in `content
management systems') -- grep for eval and other similar
functions.

Yet another common mistake is to store in database paths to code
that is included in pages.
