RE: SQL Injection: Issue with UNION SELECT ALL

["Calderon, Juan Carlos (GE, Corporate, consultant)" <juan.calderon () ge com>]

Hello Joe 

I guess you make a simple mistake the right operator is UNION ALL not SELECT ALL :)

I think this should work

http://www.vulnerablesite.com/vulnpage.asp?vulnparam=12345 UNION ALL SELECT null,null,null--

I suggest you progressively change the nulls one by one by @@version and/or USER to extract the first interesting 
pieces of information from the database

Regards,
Juan Carlos Calderon

Subject: SQL Injection: Issue with UNION SELECT ALL

I'm really having some trouble here understanding and working through these 2 errors I am getting when attacking a host 
via SQL Injection using a UNION SELECT ALL statement. I've listed the what I think are relevant references I've found 
on the Internet about these error messages so far, and even though this is probably really simple but for some reason 
it's just not clicking for me.

1. Operand type clash: text is incompatible with int
        Reference Found:

2. The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT.

The site was vulnerable to login bypass, so it's really not a matter of being able to "get in", I am asking for help 
because I want to understand the errors, and of course make my attack process better.
