If you do a search for:

you will see a lot of examples of an attempted hack along the lines of:

1) declare @q varchar(8000) select @q = 0x57414954464F522044454C4159202730303A30303A313527 exec(@q) --

What is exactly is it trying to do? Which db is it trying to work on? Do you know of any advisories about this?
