Attacks rely on sending an SQL query to the database, making the application return a different result depending on whether the query returned successfully or triggered an error. In this case, we only infer the success from the server's answer, but the data is not extracted from output of the error. **Example**: Using `json()` function in SQLite to trigger an error as an oracle to know when the injection is true or false.

' AND CASE WHEN 1=1 THEN 1 ELSE json('') END AND 'A'='A -- OK
' AND CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN 1 ELSE json('') END AND 'A'='A -- malformed JSON
