tcpdump will do the trick (something like 'tcpdump -n -w some.output.file -s 1514 -i any tcp port 5432') Or you can pass '&loglevel=2' as part of the JDBC connection URL to have the JDBC driver generate a log of all the messages it sends/receives (in less detail than a full network-level capture would give you, though) > I did just have a thought, though -- is there any chance that the JDBC > Connection.commit is returning once the command is written to the TCP buffer, > and I'm getting hurt by some network latency issues No, the JDBC driver waits for ReadyForQuery from the backend before returning. -O ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
