GOAL:
How to validate that a database running with -SSL is encrypting data?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems

FIX:
The best way to identify if a database is using encryption when communicating with a client, is to make use of a network protocol analyzer or packet sniffer such as WireShark/ Ethereal.
To download WireShark go to: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html
