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.
