Luckily enough I haven't had to test that, but as it is I have no experience and I feel that if the day ever came that I had to either find out how an attack happened (post-mortem) or deal with one in real time I would be outwitted by most attackers. Furthermore, I fear that our security guidelines are outdated and probably rather pointless by now. I'd like to start reading up on this specially about real life attacks on database security and ways to secure the database that grant the best possible security and minimizes pain for the users.
