On Fri, 23 Nov 2007, Oscar van Eijk submitted an update to the 

  sqltex

package.

SQLTeX is a well documented preprocessor to enable the use of SQL 
statements in LaTeX. It is a perl script that reads an input file 
containing the LaTeX source with SQL commands, and writes a LaTeX file 
that can be processed with your LaTeX package.  The SQL commands will be 
replaced by their values. It's possible to select a single field for 
substitution 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 for substitution in the document.  
This version only supports MySQL databases. It has been tested on Linux, 
but should work an all platforms where Perl is installed.
