Question

I am getting always different select commands from ui through textbox.
Ex: string queries = "select name from employe; select id from dept";

internal logic

C#

for (int i=0; i < queries.Length; i++)
{
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(queries[i].ToString(), con);
    OracleAdapter oda = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd);
    oda.fill(ds,queries[i]);
}

It's working fine but while checking in that checkmark getting sql injection issue.
Could you please assist on this how to fix the type of scenario.

note: is no scope using storeprocedure here.

What I have tried:

C#

for (int i=0; i < queries.Length; i++)
{
    racleCommand cmd=new OracleCommand(queries[i].ToString(), con);
    OracleAdapter oda= new OracleDAtaAdapter(cmd);
    oda.Fill(ds, queries[i]);
}

As I understand your question, user input is directly the SQL command.
So, by your design, there is no injection to prevent since user type directly commands they want.

C#

Ex: string queries = "select name from employe; drop employe";

SQL injection is only when user type parameters, by allowing user to type directly commands, you are far beyond.

Have a read of this, there is a section on Bind Variables which should get you started

Retrieving and Updating with Oracle Data Provider for .NET[^]

There are no parameters and where clause in those commands

Simon_Whale 6-Jul-20 4:06am

this is in the "To retrieve data using bind variables:" section under point 6

string sql = "select department_name from departments where department_id = " +
":department_id";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
OracleParameter p_department_id = new OracleParameter();
p_department_id.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Decimal;
p_department_id.Value = departmentID.Text;
cmd.Parameters.Add(p_department_id);

OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
dr.Read();

departments.Items.Add(dr.GetString(0));
