Talk:Little Bobby Tables

One of the things I like to do in my free time is to make up names poor Little Bobby Tables could go by, presumably he does not use the full SQL Injection as his Starbucks name, but we don't ever know what he calls himself. These are some of my favorites:

  • Robert Roberts (The obvious, but hilariously redundant sounding)
  • Bobby Roberts
  • Robert "Bobby Tables" Roberts
  • Bobby "Tables" Roberts
  • "Little" Bobby Tables (not a particularly good porn-actor name)
  • Bobby (Possibly a good 20's mob gangster name)
  • Tables (A less good mob gangster name)
  • DROP the TABLE (Perhaps a rapper/nerdcore/dubstep name)

I think his full name would officially be Robert'); DROP TABLE students;-- Roberts, which should probably be added to the article, but that's besides the point. Schiffy (talk) 17:03, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Actually, his full name is Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--, not Robert'); DROP TABLE students;--, according to 327: Exploits of a Mom. I added the correct version to the article and renamed the category and the article itself. --FaviFake (talk) 08:37, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Under real life occurrences are examples of Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Old Bobby Tables uses a SQL injection, which is more rare these days, but a lot more damaging. 162.158.154.63 (talk) 12:21, 14 July 2023 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Thanks! Feel free to edit the section, I don't know much about hacking methods. --FaviFake (talk) 14:52, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

What's his full name?[edit]

Hey, I was wondering which one of these is his full name:

  • Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--
  • Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- Roberts

Afaik, there are no comics mentioning his surname, but hat might be the case for other members of the Roberts family. Can someone research this? --FaviFake (talk) 18:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

One would assume that, as brother to Elaine (insert middle names here) Roberts and son of Mrs. (whatever her other names are) Roberts, he'd still be a Roberts.
I know there are some family peculiarities (e.g. for unmarried parents, or retention of maiden names, with whatever decision made/enforced for subsequent birth certificates, etc), so maybe if we knew that the (ex-?/late-?)husband of Mrs Roberts (neé Roberts) might have been Mr Jones (né Jones) and they decided to surname according to gender of parent (rather than anti-gender, or variations upon double-barelling, though we know none of that happened for Elaine), then he's "Robert (inject SQL) Jones". But we have no such indication of anything so exotic.
And there's no reason for him not to be surnamed as you'd normally expect. It doesn't even change the efficacy of the troublesome full name. William of Ockham would barbrously cut off any suggestions that might extend the list of assumptions, even by abnormally truncating the familial suffix.
All this supposition being open to any found facts that I'm not currently recalling, naturally. 172.69.43.221 19:38, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Yeah makes sense, we're going with the second option. --FaviFake (talk) 15:59, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
