Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Database Protocol support

Hi Guy,

Yea it looks like MS SQL Server 2005 is not fully supported. I just ran
a test with it. In some cases you can see the query and the result
coming back but in other cases you can't see either. Do you know if
there is plan to support MS SQL 05 in the future? It's really close,
just not consistent.

Thanks
Al

I have the impression that Microsoft SQL Server (and the Sybase server  
from which it originally derived) uses a protocol that Wireshark calls  
"TDS" (Tabular Data Stream):

	http://www.freetds.org/

That protocol is dissected by Wireshark/TShark, although whether we  
dissect all versions of it, including the MS SQL Server 2005 version,  
is another matter:
