Is there anyway that we could have the type of

Probably, if somebody familiar with enough with SQL to
1) know what stuff a user would want Ethereal to tell SQL to do;
2) come up with a way to have the user tell Ethereal what to do;
would supply that information.
I.e., I assume a user would want Ethereal to tell SQL to create one or
more tables, with the values in the columns coming from fields in the
packet.
If so, we'd need to have a way to specify what tables are to be
created, and what fields are to be used for the columns. Presumably
the tables and columns have names; could we just use Ethereal field
names as column names?
Also, that works if you have one table row per packet - but what if
there's more than one instance of a field in a packet?
