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 is v1.4 of SQLTeX. New in this version is the option to replace values in the database results using configurable replace files; e.g., if the database value contains a percent sign (`%'), SQLTeX automatically replaces it by an escaped percent sign (`\%'). This version only supports MySQL databases. It has been tested on Linux, but should work an all platforms where Perl is installed. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
