Ive seen the bottom picture of the gibberish over the license plate kicking around the internet for at least the past few years. The rest is new to me though.

Ya, basically... The idea is it tries to insert whatever it reads on the license plate into the database. And this assumes they're not validating the data it reads, so what's on the "license plate" actually injects code into a simple insert statement, doing something harmful to the database in the process.

The theory of it is that the computer reads that whole license plate and accepts it as input, saving the whole thing as one text field in a database. When that text field is later read by the computer, it sees a license plate number in the six-character format it expects, and then a snippet of valid computer code. A poorly designed system would assume that that snippet of code is not part of the text field, and is in fact the next instruction it's supposed to execute - it mistakes the code content of the text field for it's own programming, essentially. That particular snippet of code is an instruction to delete the database.

It definitely wouldn't work - optical character reading technology used for this purpose, for example, would not recognise a comma or parentheses. There are also several other reasons.

The funny thing about this picture to me is that Red Lobster-style Chesapeke Bay biscuits are ridiculously cheap and very easy to make with a $3-$4 box of Bisquick. You just follow the basic rolled biscuit recipe on the box but mix in a couple of ounces of grated cheese, maybe a teaspoon of powdered garlic, and figure out how you prefer the spice levels in the butter brush-on yourself. Ironically I learned the basics of the recipe from a really terrible reddit-rageface-esque meme but it totally works.

Amazon.com shows those at over $12 per box, wow.
