referencing variables in SQL queries over network

Hello! I'm writing an analyzer for Oracle SQL queries over the network and I've found queries encoded in such a way:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE x = :1 AND y = :2

These :1 and :2 are variable references. The variable itself seems to be encoded in a neighbor packets of the query found on the wire.

Is that encoding documented? Is there any official or unofficial description on how to decode this? Received on Fri Apr 15 2005 - 09:24:52 CDT
