As much as people like to talk about "hacking the mainframe", mainframes really aren't used all that much any more. Mostly, you see groups of smaller servers and desktops rather than a single giant mainframe that everyone uses.
Anyway, as far as hacking, there are two ways it typically happens.
Who wants to help me?
Social Engineering: This is the one used more often now. You trick someone into giving you the password. It's way easier than the other method if you do it right.
The traditional "hack":
1) You have to find a way to send information to the machine you want to break into. If it's connected to the Internet, you can go through that. If it's not, you have to get access to the machine, or to a machine on the same local network.
2) You have to find a weakness in the code. For instance, you may be able to find a code injection. Look at the URL for this question- do you see where it says ?qid=20110108114013AAvg2m9 at the top. The Yahoo Answers program takes that number and looks up the question with the given ID. The code would look something like "Select text from questions where id='20110108114013AAvg2m9'". If they weren't careful, I could replace that number in the URL with "20110108114013AAvg2m9'. Select usernames and passwords from users.". The computer sees the commands and executes them- in addition to getting you the question, it gives you all the usernames and passwords. Using commands like that, you can get any information stored in the database, and you could even add and delete information. That syntax is actually really close to what we actually use for databases. -
You gave invalid mysql and gtq guy has stated gtq runs on mysql.
