Summary description: An SQL Preprocessor for LaTeX
Announcement text:
SQLTeX is a preprocessor that allows the use of SQL statements in LaTeX documents. Changes in this release: * Fix bug #2 (https://github.com/oveas/sqltex/issues/2): standard path management for output files. NOTE: This changes the default location for output files. See config item def_out_is_in in section 2.3 in the documentation to revert to pre v2.1 behaviour. * Fix: help was not displayed on Windows * Implemented '?' as password in dbopen * Implemented '?' as username in dbopen * Implemented long options * Allow overwriting variables in multidocument mode * Added simple automated regression tests * Added a man page for linux users * Rewrote the installation procedure, now using autotools on linux. * On linux, change the default installation directory to /usr/bin and store the configuration- and replacement files is /etc. * Added option --use-local-config.

SQLTeX – An SQL Preprocessor for LaTeX
SQLTeX is a preprocessor that enables the use of SQL statements in LaTeX. The SQLTeX perl script reads an input file containing the LaTeX source with SQL commands, and writes a LaTeX file in which the SQL commands have been replaced by the values from their execution. It is possible to select a field for substitution in your LaTeX document, or to be used as input in another SQL command. (When an SQL command returns multiple fields and/or rows, the values can only be used within the document.)
The default is to use MySQL databases, but Pg, Sybase, Oracle, Ingres, mSQL and PostgreSQL are also supported.
