What is "sth" with respect to web traffic

Question

Just wondering if anyone could enlighten me to what sth might be. (Seen in Tranalyzer flow files.) Basically it's a web analysis category (ip address, port, sth, etc) but I'm not sure what meant by it and there is no mention in the documentation.

(Also for bonus points what would a value of dir mean for sth?)

I'd appreciate any help.

+1 for the question. I though of that today, thanks to ask =) — Gilles Quénot, Aug 06 '13 at 20:27
I had a colleague ask and I didn't know either, so thanks for the answer! — Hans, Aug 06 '13 at 20:31

sth means : STatement Handle

The connection to a database.

See http://perlmeme.org/tutorials/connect_to_db.html and https://stackoverflow.com/a/13208866/465183

Edit :

In perl, if I display the content of the object using Data::Dumper with a DBI script :

$VAR1 = bless( {}, 'DBI::st' );

but that's not very helpful. It's means only that's a DBI::st object.
