That depends on what you mean by "SQL decoding".

It appeared to be code to write out SQL commands to allow certain specific fields in packets to be logged entered into a database with a particular schema, not code to decode any of the SQL-over-the-wire formats (we already have partial support for Oracle TNS and Sybase/Microsoft TDS); the latter is what I'd think of as "SQL decoding", i.e. decoding of SQL-over-the-wire packets.

It also does *not* appear to be code to let you *choose* what fields you want logged, in what schema.
