Union-Based SQL Injection covers column count enumeration, data type matching, and extracting database contents through UNION SELECT statements when error output or results are reflected in the response.

Blind SQL Injection covers boolean-based and time-based data extraction when the application returns no visible query output, using conditional logic and sleep delays to infer data one bit at a time.

SQLi to Remote Code Execution covers escalating database access to OS command execution via MySQL INTO OUTFILE web shell writes and MSSQL xp_cmdshell when the database user has sufficient privileges.
