You can read all the articles you want, but it all comes down to making sure that everything is properly quoted (field values, basically). This prevents a semi-colon from starting a new query. Both PHP and Perl make it trivial to do this, and everyone should.

Other than the above, the usual safeguards apply -- make sure the server is locked down, don't be stupid about root passwords (or root access for that matter), etc. Any *nix sysadmin can help you with these, or your hosting company should take care of it for you.

Good luck.
