I don't think the logic is quite that easy though, as you could have a DDL command with a select statement:
SELECT *
INTO new_table
FROM old_table
If this is something you'd like to see built into LTM, you could open a case with F5 Support with details on your use case.

charlie_14972Hi Bhattman,
That irule cause can not connect to the database
Hi Hoolio,
Thank you for your suggestions
Charlie- The_Bhattmanhi Charlie,
The iRule won't know how to connect to the database - simply because the irule is looking into the TCP packet. However, that would lead into a more sophisticated version of the Irule to account for the DDL command.
