Hi,
Do you know if tshark can dissect MS SQL (ms sql 2005) protocol?

Thanks
Al

I have the impression that Oracle uses a protocol that Wireshark calls  
"TNS" (Transparent Network Substrate); that protocol is dissected by  
Wireshark/TShark.

Wireshark/TShark also dissect a protocol called DRDA (Distributed  
Relational Database Architecture); a comment in the DRDA dissector says:

*  DRDA in a nutshell
*
*   DRDA stands for Distributed Relational Database Architecture.
*   It is a protocol between database client and database server  
published by
*   the Open Group (www.opengroup.org) DDM (Distributed Data  
Management) is an
*   data management interface which allows to exchange structured data  
between
*   systems.  DRDA is specific to relational databases and uses a  
subset of DDM
*   to transport its data.  The IBM DB2 product uses the DRDA protocol  
from
*   version V8.  Unless negotiated differently during the handshake,  
the fields
*   of the DDM commands and reply messages are in EBCDIC.
*
*   Documentation:
*       DRDA Version 3 Vol. 3: Distributed Relational Database  
Architecture,
*       Open Group.
*   Reference for Remote DRDA Requesters and Servers, IBM.
