This weekend, I decided to teach Ethereal to decode the FE/BE protocol properly: until now, it could only extract likely-looking strings from the conversation, which I found woefully inadequate for debugging. I'm hoping the result will be useful to other people too:
<http://www.oryx.com/ams/packet-pgsql.c> Copy it to epan/dissectors/ within an Ethereal source tree, and change the reference to "packet-postgresql.c" in Makefile.common to -pgsql.c, then configure and build. (Thanks to Kris Jurka for some testing. I've asked the Ethereal people if they want to distribute this with Ethereal.) Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome. -- ams ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
