## SQL/Protect plugin

Often, preventing an SQL injection attack is the responsibility of the application developer, while the database administrator has little or no control over the potential threat. The difficulty for database administrators is that the application must have access to the data to function properly.

SQL/Protect is a module that allows a database administrator to protect a database from SQL injection attacks. SQL/Protect examines incoming queries for typical SQL injection profiles in addition to the standard database security policies.

Attackers can perpetrate SQL injection attacks with several different techniques. A specific signature characterizes each technique. SQL/Protect examines queries for unauthorized relations, utility commands, SQL tautology, and unbounded DML statements. SQL/Protect gives the control back to the database administrator by alerting the administrator to potentially dangerous queries and then blocking those queries.

!!! Note
This plugin works only on the EDB Postgres Advanced Server server, so this is useful only when your PEM database is hosted on the EDB Postgres Advanced Server server.
