Wireshark is your friend in all these cases. It is one of the best networking sniffer present today

You can get it from

http://www.wireshark.org/download.html

The following is an extract on wireshark from wikipedia

Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but it has a graphical front-end, and many more information sorting and filtering options. It allows the user to see all traffic being passed over the network (usually an Ethernet network but support is being added for others) by putting the network interface into promiscuous mode.

It will not save it on database. But it will save as files. Manually you can move the contents of files to database
