I do have ssl compiled in but I just want to compare the ssl connection with the regular connection to make sure that I'm actually encrypting the data. call me paranoid.

thanks,

MySQL protocol is a binary protocol. Still it's not encrypted and data could be sniffed.

Use MySQL-Max and SSL connections to encrypt data in protocol.



I'm wondering how mysql actually sends its data to a mysql client? Is it binary data or plain text or encrypted with some general function? When I use ethereal to capture the packets all I can see is anything but plain text.
