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.
