  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Seems they forgot that sql comes with privileges. And would imagine most people just leave the default to all (GRANT ALL ON *.* TO *; usually root) (tried inserting a zero width space, but the forum removed it lol, otherwise I get a ;) ). As mentioned before the tyranny of the default. You could even have one process do the select and another inserts or updates, guess it depends on paranoia or security concerns

Well the issue is that the same data is frequently used to select the record to find it, then to make an update in typical CRUD fashion. But even still an errant select statement (or a replacement one) is still dangerous.
