The mysql dissector has code to store "per-conversation" (connection) info.
See dissect_mysql_pdu() and mysql_dissect_greeting().
I see that mysql_dissect_greeting() dissects a "version" string. If the string
has well-defined values for the mysql version, then maybe a version number can
be saved in the conversation data (mysql_conn_data_t) in a manner similar to
the way done for the "caps".
could
The default for "version" (if no greeting seen) could be whatever is most
appropriate: V5 ?
