By "query fails" do you mean that the query returns 0 results?

It breaks - gives unintended result. Throws an error or 0 results.
For now, assume this query returns data.

From the limited information provided, if the query is returning 0 results, I'd assume there are no rows in 'test' whose 'id' column has a value of 100.

Are you not wanting it to? Your initial post asks what would cause the query to fail. So either the query is failing and you don't want it to, or it is succeeding and you want to find a way to make it fail. Color me confused.

Intent here is to do sql injection and see how to misuse it.

I don't think it's mere semantics but, in my opinion at least, returning 0 results is not throwing an error - the query ran and sent back an empty results set.
This might be a way to trigger a great debate thread.

mmmm.... Is that not open to sql injection?

Given that you did not put any restrictions on programming language or database software... what comes to my mind is bypassing that rule with a SQL trigraph[^]

-1; DELETE FROM test WHERE ID <>
your question was poorly phrased I'd say... but I suggest the value above so that final query is
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id= -1; DELETE FROM test WHERE ID <> 100

Apologies if that was confusing or I was not able to convey it correctly.
There is a query where something is mentioned in multiline quotes. Text in multiline quote is user driven. Can we put anything in that so that we misuse the queyr?
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id= 100

Trick question? There is no input value considered:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id= 100
It's all an in-line comment. If the test table has no id column you'd get an error though. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Neh. Just trying to see how to misuse above sceanrio via SQL injection. Currently it is valid sql query that returns data.

Just tested this with MySQL and it works fine. What db does this fail with for you?

Even if this works, INPUT cannot have * in it.

It doesn't - I just replaced " INPUT " with "/"

Did you try:
1. HTML entities, like *
2. ASCII/Unicode in hex/octal \x2a \u002a \052
Some of those might sneak through.

In MySql or MariaDB, most values of INPUT starting with an exclamation mark will cause a syntax error IF there is no space between your opening comment tag and INPUT, eg:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id= 100 However it's also possible to inject valid SQL that way:
SELECT * FROM test WHERE ID= 100 This query returning all rows in the table. See MySql ref: Comments[^] The idea is that you can then write SQL that works across DBMS, by including code that is only "seen" by MySql.
You can also include query optimiser hints using a similar /*+ hint */ syntax, so you could probably break your query by starting INPUT with a plus sign as well, again only provided there's no space after the opening asterisk.
And yes, this is definitely too much of a programming question to be in the Lounge!

Won't a semi-colon (;) cause that comment to end?
